Living with a Rare Allergic Condition

May 04 2024
Beth, a 20-year-old, lives with a rare medical condition that causes extreme allergic reactions to almost everything she encounters. Suspected to have mast cell activation syndrome, she can even react to her own emotions and the smell of food in the air. These reactions often lead to painful hives and can trigger life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Beth's condition has led her to restrict her diet and stay home most of the time, impacting her partner Sasha, who has become her full-time carer. Despite feeling guilty, their relationship has brought Beth newfound confidence as she advocates for others with chronic conditions, encouraging them to embrace their imperfections.
