Hi!

I'm Soph, and six years ago my life changed.

​

When I was 19 I woke up one morning in Italy and had anaphylaxis for the first time. I remember an Italian doctor with a huge unsterilized needle telling my sister I was approaching 'multi organ failure', sending her and I into panic. Since then I have been diagnosed with spontaneous anaphylaxis, and my body regularly tries to kill me. I have anaphylaxis every few months, and milder reactions every few days.

​

It's a rare and 'invisible condition'. Well, until I decide to react. Then both it and I are alarmingly visible. 

 

I don't usually discuss my condition, and like to pretend it doesn't exist. So six years later, I've finally decided a blog is needed for my own reflection and mental well-being. 

​

Remember- everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

​

Be kind, always x
