allergy to the cold is no joke

when I was 20 I started haveing welts or hives when I got cold any for the size of dimes to half dollars my my feet swell along with my face hands. itching was really bad. doctors and hospitals all kinds of count down steroids even the pills they give poeple with severe allergic reactions to poison oak. it didnt work benadryl works 6months of takeing benadryl made me feel like a zombie other allergy pill work to. but the the hives and itching would allways come back. I live in Tennessee at the time all winter long intill move to Florida in 2002. for the frist 17 years in Florida thay would come and go. shopping for frozen food would set it off. breezy day at the beach. swimming in the springs. aircondtion. now I still have them but not as bad. doctors told me there was nothing they can do for me. so I started doing my oun research. no one believes you intill they see for themselfs I'm not going to pull down my pants to show them why I'm scratching my butt the itch is that bad you really dont care what poeple think.
