Jessica went for a sleepover at her best friend’s house last week. She always has a fantastic time, even though she is always exhausted the next day! She loves being with her friend and looks forward to them both having a fruit salad for breakfast!
As I’m a member of The Allergy Team, it was so good being able to share a personalised video about Jessica’s allergy before she stayed. The “Me and My Allergy” video explains that Jessica is allergic to milk, which foods she must avoid, how to recognise an allergic reaction and what medication she would need and how to use it. The great thing is the video can be watched over and over again and I felt so much more relaxed knowing everything had been covered.
I also love The Allergy Team online chats. I feel these online meet-ups have given me the confidence to speak up and so good being able to chat to other people who totally “get it”. They also have lots of resources online and the expert Q & As are really useful.
If you are living with food allergies, I would definitely recommend becoming a member of The Allergy Team.
