Why hello there!! How nice of you to stumble across my little blog here (little being the operative word). I thought I’d tell you a bit about myself and this blog so it’s a bit less awkward for us both ;)
My name is Hannah. I’m 19 years old (even though no one
believes me!) and I am a student at Newcastle University, studying English
Literature and Creative Writing. My top
five loves are: Jesus (he saved my life and yours too!), my family including my
crazy cocker spaniel Tilly and grumpy cat Rascal, my friends, reading and
writing stories and food. Food is definitely in the top five. Sometimes I’m
worried it tries to take over spot number two…
My love of food may seem completely normal (IT IS NORMAL-
FOOD IS BEAUTIFUL :D ) but I guess you might not have thought that food would
be something I massively enjoy if you found out….
THAT I HAVE A FOOD ALLERGY!!!!
*horror filled faces, cries of despair*
I know guys, that would probably be my reaction. I have an
anaphylactic allergy to cow’s milk, specifically casein in cow’s milk.
This blog is going to be about my adventures as a student
with an allergy, I searched for something similar as a teenager and before I
started uni and couldn’t find anything. There is a lot of support for children,
parents and adults with allergies but not much for young people- which seems
crazy! When you become a teenager you have to look after yourself more and you
do more things like eating out and staying away from home, therefore young
people desperately need more help sorting out their allergy stuff themselves!
This blog has three purposes:
·
To offer some help to other people with
allergies, particularly young adults
·
To educate others about anaphylaxis
·
To show that you can still live a crazy fun
filled life with an allergy
I don’t want this to be a place where I moan about how hard
life can be with an allergy or just a site of boring information, I want to use
this blog to help others and have fun!
So yeah, that’s all I have to say right now, stay tuned to
hear more soon!
Love,
The Allergy Student x
