			<description><![CDATA[Aww, thank you so much!! I just want to help as many people as possible, and let people know that they're not alone. There are others out there, helpful ones, that will help them through the tough time of trying to learn to cope with allergies, eczema etc, and that it's not this big black hole with no way out.
If it helps just one person feel that it's ok, and they have support, then it's worth it! x]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It is so hard when people have 'opinions' on how your skin looks, eczema being 'bad' etc! It makes me so sad when people do that to Callum. He's oblivious at the moment, but he does pick up on people staring at him when he's having a bad skin day, and kind of quizzically looks at them, wondering why he's the focus of their 'attention'. I'm so sorry that you experience this prejudice too!! x]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Excellent blog. Trying to reblog but have never done that before so bear with me. Has it worked? No idea... Love the reblog idea. Might add that to my blog. We should all share our great blogs more and get the word out there. And I do know what you mean, when I first had my peanut allergy my mum and me didn't know what the reactions were. My mum knew it was bad, she knew because she sat at my bedside waiting for it to pass, but back then (I'm 41) we didn't have adrenaline injectors. Doctors just said don't eat nuts, which sounds awful but actually, not know how serious it was might have been a blessing. How does a kid deal with that? Life is tough enough without that to contend with too. All you can do is teach him how to keep himself safe, spot unsafe situations and avoid cross contamination. He will surprise you probalby with how well he copes but I know it must be terrifying. Just ask my mum! The worry doesn't stop when you big kid is 41!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Reblogged this on whatallergy.com (http://whatallergy.com/2014/07/30/the-reality-of-allergies/) and commented:
I have been lucky really in that the people around me, my friends, family and colleagues have all been really supportive in helping me stay safe living with multiple allergies. However I do find that people have no such qualms about commenting on the state of my skin, my eczema, which is triggered and made much worse by certain allergens. I know all to well how hard it is to smile and explain that yes I have been to the doctor, that it's just eczema, yes it does hurt and no I won't wear make up to hide it so you don't have to look at my red sore face. The Intolerant Gourmand has hit the nail right on the head. Just a little empathy and kindness is all that's required. We are all just humble human being trying to get on with our lives.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I totally agree, I absolutely hate the idea that C will one day have to face all this himself too! As if they don't have enough to deal with, without these comments as well!
Great blog post too! x]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great blog post! It is so hard to not get dragged into these such discussions by ignorant people who will remain that way because they cannot open themselves up to what is going on around them (and probably read a certain paper and believe the rubbish it feeds them). It is best to leave these people well alone...they will not be educated and it is sad that we have to put up with them but as you say, everyone is different. Just don't take what they say seriously. There are plenty of us out there with oodles of support and kindness to offer...think about us instead!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My son is one and has multiple allergies and anaphylaxis. Although I am looking forward to the day he understands as hopefully it will keep him a bit safer, I hate the idea that he will always be labelled by this and have to face all these ignorant comments. Here's what I thought of the Katie Hopkins comments http://www.freefromfarmhouse.co.uk/dairy-free/katie-hopkins-frivolous-food-allergies/]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I try to remember to only worry about the opinion of people who matter to me and to those around me. Therefore I decided to not to find out what was going on.
It isn't helpful to put stuff out there in case anyone reads it and is convinced by it, but I live with hope that that's less likely than we might think.]]></description>
