Are you kidding me?

Okay, so I posted a while back about the allergic reaction I was having. So I finally got my referral and went to the specialist. By the time I got my approval, the reaction had gone away. However, I brought pictures . . .

You are not going to believe this.

I have something called Cold Urticaria. It is a reaction to COLD - like air conditioners, ice, fans, etc. It is very rare - but the only other case the Dr. has ever seen is another lady who had LB surgery.

Apparently - fat insulates the body and keeps it in a kind of remission. So as I lost weight, it triggered it. Now, the good news, it only reared its ugly little head because I had been sick, had other allergies at the same time and was in a cold AC. The Dr. said my immune system has to be really beat down for it to happen. Hopefully that won't "happen" again.

I thought I would share some of the pics with you guys again - in case it ever happens to any of you.

BTW, I will take allergic reactions over being Morbidly Obese any day of the week!

I have the same condition! When I loose weight I expect it to come back. I sooo feel your pain!

I hate to hear you have it, but it is kinda nice to know someone else has it - I have never heard of it before!
