I
want
to
start
with
my
health
history,
build
you
a
picture
of
how
much
my
life
has
changed
because
of
Susan
Carr
and
Perth
Allergy
Clinic.
I
am
39
years
old
and
this
is
My
Story.
Growing
up
I
had
problems
with
my
health.
Extreme
colds/flus,
sensitivity
to
smells,
chronic
pains,
occasional
extreme
dose
of
hives,
swelling/water
retention,
anxiety,
depression,
behaviour
disorders,
restlessness.
It
impacted
my
life
more
than
I
knew.
I
had
problems
learning,
playing
sports,
and
making
friends
later
keeping
a
job.
One
of
the
things
I
had
no
idea
was
that
I
had
intolerances
to
certain
foods,
temperatures/humidity
and
physical
pressure/skin
sensitivity.
Neither
did
the
doctors.
My
mother
would
take
me
to
the
doctor,
do
some
tests
and
say
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
me.
Then
I
found
out
he
actually
wanted
to
medicate
me
for
ADHD.
My
mother
refused
for
which
I
am
glad
beyond
measure.
I
grew
up
suffering
from
a
lot
of
unknown
conditions
which
was
all
in
head
I
was
told.
My
late
teens
and
twenties
was
not
much
better
with
add
stress,
anxiety
and
depression
I
struggled
to
find
doctors
who
might
know
and
constantly
searching.
I
had
at
one
stage
the
age
of
25,
15
small
peptic
ulcers
in
my
stomach.
I
was
popping
Nexium
like
they
were
lollies.
The
last
5
years
had
been
the
most
stressful,
the
most
chronic
and
acute
of
my
conditions
because
at
one
stage
I
was
ingesting
11
pharmaceutical
tablets
a
day
to
function
at
all.
An
Immunologist
diagnosis
was
Chronic
and
Acute
Urticaria
Angioedema
Dermatographism
and
a
doctor
who
figured
out
I
had
Erythromelalgia
and
a
Gynaecologist
said
I
had
Chronic
Pain.
I
have
also
other
diagnosis
but
I
want
to
concentrate
on
these
conditions.
I
can
not
stress
enough
the
importance
of
how
stress
played
a
part
of
acerbating
these
conditions.
The
hardest
to
do
is
to
stress
less
and
let
go.
Friends
had
recommended
me
to
see
Susan
and
it
is
the
greatest
thing
I
could
have
done.
Because
at
this
point
I
was
eating
1
meal
a
day,
in
pain
constantly
and
at
risk
of
losing
my
job
again
due
to
flare
ups.
Since
seeing
Susan
from
Oct
2019
I
eat
3
meals
a
day,
I
go
to
work,
I
am
active
and
I
fit
into
clothes
I
have
never
been
able
to
wear
for
8
years.
I
have
control
of
my
life
again.
Not
only
that,
it
changed
my
husband’s
way
of
life
too.
I
think
the
hardest
thing
to
do
is
take
that
step
and
trust
that
it
could
work.
Doctors
don’t
know
everything,
I
tell
anyone
to
take
that
leap
of
faith
and
go
see
Susan
Carr
at
Perth
Allergy
Clinic.
Because
it
just
might
change
your
life.
It
might
change
how
you
live.
