“It’s a very big thing and unless you live it, there’s no way to explain it to people.”

Exactly ... what I lived with for the past 64 years, and the Epipen does not work with me.  If I get exposed I will not go to the hospital as they will inject me regardless - it's protocol - and my heart starts to race. So a nice choice. Christmas and someone having a birthday party was always tough as a kid. I was told countless times that it "was all in my head". Back in the early sixties there just wasn't the same kind of awareness.

I was hoping things would change for the youth suffering this affliction today.
