Anaphylaxis – The Essential Guide
How to kill the fear that anaphylaxis could kill you! by Ruth Holroyd

Anaphylaxis: The Essential Guide: An Action Plan For Living With Life-Threatening Allergies.  Anaphylaxis has the potential to hijack your everyday life with fear, anxiety, depression and trust issues, but it is possible to create a positive path forward.

Anaphylaxis is terrifying, both for those with allergies and their carers. It can make people severely ill and in rare cases it’s fatal. In this book Ruth shares her own experiences and provides invaluable advice.

Every person’s allergic reaction is different and the symptoms can vary from rashes and difficulty breathing to collapse and loss of consciousness and can also change and become more severe over time. This is understandably hard to live with, the unknown and ever present knowledge that food could kill.

In Anaphylaxis: The Essential Guide, you will discover information, help and support to face this frightening condition with confidence. Ruth shows you how to:

•           Get a diagnosis swiftly and how to come to terms with it

•           Recognise the other factors that can affect the severity of a reaction, including exercise and medication

•           Put together an Anaphylaxis Action Plan with day-to-day tips and strategies for staying safe at home and at work, eating out, holidays and dating

•           Assess possible treatments, therapies and resources

•           Cope with the psychological impact of living with anaphylaxis and severe allergies

•           Take action when you’re feeling depressed or anxious, or experiencing panic attacks

•           Create a positive and resilient mindset, and reframe the condition to feel less excluded and more in control
