Hi there,
I was diagnosed today as having cold-urtaria (allergic to the cold). It is just the strangest thing, I still can't believe it. I get huge welts all over my body when my skin is exposed to cold. I am not supposed to eat or drink anything cold, and am not to swim in unheated waters as I could go into anaphylatic shock. I now have to carry an epipen around as it could be fatal. Anyhow, all this to say that I am quite frighted now. I see my doctor later but I was wondering if you have ever heard of this condition? Is it rare? Can you recommend a reliable source on the net that would be able to provide me with info. I know I can just look it up, but I am not always too trusting of some sites. Thought you might refer to some yourself.
Thanks
DAnielle
