The day my life changed forever

My symptoms slowly started I was developing hives when I went in the cold food section of the supermarket or from air conditioning in the car or even just going fir a morning walk . We went ona beach holiday in December 2018 everytime I went near the water my legs would swell get covered in very painful hives . Coming back to Sydney I decided one day in January to swim some laps with my friend big mistake I ended up in major anaphalaxis shock being rushed to hospital. I now carry an epipenand I am starting xolair shots this month.
