It can be really expensive to move, especially when it's to another state/country. And then her parents would have to find another job and that can also be really difficult
I have this too, but my family is not moving anytime soon. Im off to college in a year so im looking into maybe going to an out of state warm place for college
Mary Hines it's not as easy to move especially since toronton has ohip which means free medical insurance, plus, finding another job in a whole nee other country is really difficult
LeapOf Faith if I worked at that school, I would volunteer my lunch break to hang out with her and have activities for her to do. Surely the school could have an EA engage the poor child!
I have this condition as well. Moving to a warmer climate isn't always the answer, as you have to deal with air conditioning. Also, your threshold can change, so if your normal is warmer you can react to temperatures which aren't as cold.
Y K B I live in NJ, so for instance last week we had a few mornings in the 60s and that was enough too make my hands break out while I was driving. I get hives ever time i get out of the shower, every time I change the laundry to the dryer, every time i take food out of the fridge. I always have gloves, a jacket, and an epipen. It's more about the change in temp than how cold it actually is. Sweat can cause hives because it cools your skin. I can't swim anymore, can't go out in the winter without serious layering - need to keep my mouth covered so I don't breath in cold air and can still only take if for maybe 5 minutes. Very frustrating. I've lived with it for over 20 years now.
do you know how expensive it is? you obviously have no sense in that. you can’t just pack up your bags and move to such a expensive state, it’s not easy
To all the people saying move to somewhere warmer, did you not watch until the end where it said that it's not completely the temperature that affects them but the humidity. She would have to move somewhere hotter with less humidity, which would be very difficult to find
Thank u!! And I have this! Mine started appearing in 80 degree F weather! I live in Ohio very hot humid summers but very cold winters My dad lives in Florida n my hives & itching were just as bad if not worse there IT FOLLOWS U! PPL W PEANUT ALLERGIES AREN'T ASKED TO MOVE. WHY WLD PPL THINK THAT WE WHO HAVE ALLERGY TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE & COLD COLD URTICARIA RARE SHLD OR CLD MOVE & IT WLD MAGICALLY GO AWAY? THATS SILLY! THANK U FOR WRITING UR COMMENT! IT WAS FRUSTRATING ME SEEING EVERYONE SAY JUST MOVE!
That's mean that they make her stay all alone in the principal's office during break time. I had a condition when I was at school that was aggravated by cold weather so my school gave me a 'pass' thingy where me and a couple of friends could spend break time in the back room of a classroom.
At my school me and another boy have it. So the principal made a room inside, so when it's lunch break we can go in there with maximum 3 other students and play cards, board games etc.
Money is a good reason, the fact that few in warm areas are politically stable (places warm all year round) another would be that family could be cut off.
+The Mangle Lover my brother suffers from the same allergy and when he is at a warm place his body starts to sweat (which is normal to cool the body down) but because of the body trying to cool down itself he suffers again so even a warm place can't help.
I also have this allergy. When I was a kid it used to be the opposite where I had an allergy to the heat. Now that I'm 27 I'm allergic to the cold. It started around when I was 21. I can't swim and walking my dog is terrible. Any part of my skin that gets cold swells with hives. NO ONE BELIEVES ME UNTIL THEY SEE IT!! I also can't breathe in cold air without feeling like my lungs are itchy. I feel you kiddo!
DARIA •-• its honestly very related to the humidity of places. i have a milder version of it and I used to live in Hong Kong, which is almost tropical and very humid. however with the always 80% or higher humidity, My allergy triggers at around 65F. now I live in Las Vegas thats very dry but winter is colder, my tolerance is higher and takes more to trigger.
I am also allergic to the cold (Cold Urticaria)... At first my friends also didn't believe me. They support me now and keep me company inside the lunch room when it's cold outside. Mine is not as bad... I would get hives if I were outside in the cold though. I can still eat cold foods and I also can only be outside in the snow for 5 minutes.
I don't break out in hives I just swell up like no ones Business. As soon as it hits 60°- 50° I have to bundle up, but my skin, even though it's covered, turns bright red and burns and it hurts to breathe. I want to move to Hawaii😩
+Jp.Girl commit suicide?!?! I love in the uk and I'm allergic to the cold I get sent to the hospital and all 4 it I wouldn't commit suicide it's just hurts
Oh sweetie, my husband has cold induced urticaria as well. It's a good thing we live in Florida. His test was simple, they did the ice cube thing and he broke out in hives and his tongue swelled!
I hate having this :( especially in gym it's so embarrassing to have to tell the teacher and other students that you have to go inside and can't participate. Most people don't believe me only my close friends, doctor, parents and sometimes teachers. Some people even make fun of me for it cause they either think I'm telling a joke, lying or think the red dots or hives are funny. I hate the winter I could never go outside and play in the snow and go sledding. I can't be outside for more than 15 minutes if it's under 60 or I get a huge rash. I can't go swimming at least the water is 85. And at the beach I can't go in the water so I just bring an inflatable pool :(
+PIGS will EAT cookies Hey, I'm 31 now and it did get a little better as i got older. I still get hives but not like when I was younger. Better clothes and layers help check out REI. It was embarrassing but not I just deal with it. Gym use to be horrible, I agree, but you shouldn't shut down for the winter, you will be missing life.
PIGS will EAT cookies - What I have is the opposite of what you have. The air conditioner has to be on all year long. If it's over 79 degrees, I'll start itching, and stinging. It always starts on my back. I can't take warm baths either. I can go outside in the summer for 10 to 15 minutes unless it's too, too hot. I can eat hot or cold foods. If it's cold enough in my house, I can wash dishes in real warm water. My house doesn't get cold enough in the summer for me to be able to wash very many dishes. The only thing I can do in the sun is swim. The water keeps me cool. The best temperature for me is around 64 degrees.
I have the same allergic reaction, and I’ve had it for 7 years. You can ingest cold food, or at least I can which she appertaining can’t, but I can’t be exposed to cold temperatures for a long period of time. It sucks but hopefully I’ll grow out of it.
Mine just got worse! But I read somewhere that sometimes the histamine levels gets better & it goes away after 7 years!? That gives me hope I've had now cpl years, this past being worst But I also read story where a lady had for 30 yrs and that bummed me But the hopeful part of her story was there was new treatment? I'm waiting to go to allergist to find out more!! I can't handle & live like this anymore! Hope u are doing ok? I was told I can't get Covid Vaccine due to anaphlactic shock & epi pen so I'm still in my self imposed prison under the covers for past 16 months ugh
I have this, but the older I’ve gotten the less severe the reaction. Wen I was little even a chilly pool would have me in welts and hives. I remember going out in the snow and getting wet,and cold and being covered head to toe in big itchy hives after that my mom wouldn’t let me play in the snow no more . I hope she grows out of it like I did.
If people are thinking that they have this issue, look up Raynaud's disease (syndrome). I personally have this syndrome and it's another form of being allergic to the cold. different effects to this case. Raynaud's disease signs and symptoms include: -Cold fingers or toes -Color changes in your skin in response to cold or stress -Numb, prickly feeling or stinging pain upon warming or stress relief Hopefully someone recognizes the signs listed here.
Abyss I think I have that, but mild. When even slightly cold, my toes, nose, and ears feel like they're freezing. Plus, it's pretty common so I think I'm good.
I didn't think I had this but i honestly think I have a mild form of raynauds because my entire life I have been very sensitive to cold (I live in Ireland and its always cold 😨😂) and my legs go a very noticeable shade of deepish purple/blue whenever im even slightly cooler than above average heat. My toes used to often go freezing cold in mild temperatures and I had a bright red nose from the beginning of Autumn until the end of spring every year up until two years ago. My hands have recently started getting very cold without me realising and my legs still go purple-blue shades and I've always had what looks like razor bumps on my legs before I even shaved them ever. Weird thing is since I began shaving they started clearing up more 😂
It's harder than you think and her parents want her to live a normal life just like another other parent would want their kids to... it costs money and she can't take any GCSE without going to school there is no way of doing a GCSE online
Becky if her mother wants he to have a normal life Then she should sell her things and move to somewhere with a warm climate so she doesn't have to stay inside
Airplanes are very cold. I don't think she could handle long haul flights otherwise I'd suggest Singapore. It's never cold there so she could spend a lot of time outside with friends.
To everyone asking why she doesn’t just get homeschooled, not all parents can afford to have one parent stay home full time to teach. It also isn’t fair to isolate a child from friends and socialization, not the mention the drawbacks homeschooling can have.
I do believe it, I have allergy to the cold. not so bad as the little girl but I do get itchy, little bumps like mosquito bites appear on my skin then if I don't go warm up immediately the hives will get bigger and so painful spreading through the body. A/C also makes me get them. Also I suffer from chillblains (pernio) not only affecting me on winter time but mostly on spring. many many Doctors don't even know what it is and look at you like you are crazy, so frustrating so I understand how the mom and the daughter feel. Just know you are not alone in this. do what you have to to protect her, don't matter what other people think. good luck.
Same here.. had it since I was 14. As I got older seems like it has worsened.. I use to go longer without a breakout, but now it's more often and all over.. breathing started to become difficult as well during a breakout.. Moving to a warmer climate not much of a help... The cooler summer nights, getting out of shower and into any cooler air, normal re warming from the cold , anyone of these can cause a breakout.. Although I've noticed it does happen more when there is moisture involved, just rained , raining, shower etc... Anyone of you notice the same or just a coincidence??
Karla Fiona I believe you bc I also have it IN THE SAME EXACT WAS Edit: And I'm allergic to hot too sooooo yaaaaa😖 2 edit:Nobody believes me that I'm allergic to BOTH
Mine started out like urs! I pray u won't need Epi Pen n get anaphlactic shock & diagnosed w cold urticaria rare Uticaria (which means itchy) can eventually turn to urticaria It progressed in mine! But once I got the hives two months later I got diagnosed & handed epi pen It sux
I have this, Cold Urtaceria, it is caused by Having a virus and it is a immune disease. If you have a mild case you can cure it by going on a detox cleanse.
Move to Arizona!!!! I was born there. It gets to be over 118-125 degrees in summer and in winter it doesn't get that cold. Also, it's a very dry climate so there's not s lot of moisture
I had that happen and it was terrifying I saw a naturopathic and he helped to heal me. I still react to extreme temperatures both heat and cold but not to that degree anymore I will contact that website to help her. I swore if I survived and got better I would help others with the illness.
I used to be allergic to the cold around the same age, and in my early teen years. The cold temperatures regardless of outside or in a lake or ocean I would get hives that were incredibly itchy and would swell into large red patches all over my body. Sometimes I would have trouble breathing and have wheezing. It doesn't really matter where you live, my first reaction and the most sever occurred in the middle of summer vacation while swimming in a pool in Germany. My whole body had hives and I started experiencing chills and light headedness. Family rushed me to a pharmacy for an allergy medication. From then on I was allergic to the cold for many years and I grew up in Canada. There is not much you can do other than stay warm and keep reactine allergy pills with you at all times. I really hope her reactions fade away as she gets older, like it has with me. The poor girl, I totally understand the way she feels, I barely told anybody when I was a child, afraid of people thinking I was lying.
I lived in LA for almost all my life and when I moved to New York I had the cold allergy for couple of weeks but I recovered. I hope she gets better :)
Your not alone in the suffering Paigley i have it to but mine is more deadly i hope your okay though its nice to know that i'm not the only one suffering from this
I HAVE THIS but what sucks is I found out last year I'm a diver and that's what I live for. In September last year I kept getting really bad gives I went to the allergic person and they said I couldn't dive and I will die if I keep diving. it I've learned to manage it but I have an epipen just in case it's not super bad just cold air and water
I feel your pain. I also dive and have cold urticaria. I dive in shallow water with thick wet suits, but only in the summer and it seems to work for me.
Chloe and Morgan i also have it, and I used to live in Hong Kong, which is very humid. its not even that cold, but if I washed my hands in cold weather, my fingers will swell up in pain. same goes to my knees, thighs, feet, and pretty much all joint areas. It can start once its lower than 65F. sometimes going to malls in summer could trigger it. it is frustrating.
Chloe and Morgan I know how you feel X when I get cold at all I get red blotches on my skin when I scratch it it spreads down my arm or leg it hurts and people make fun of me it's winter at the moment so it gets worse, I found out 4 years ago, it started on my legs then spread up to my face,
I live in south Texas next to the border. We only have about 2-3 months of actual cold winter. In December it can get up to 70 degrees. It gets cold only from Jan-mid March. The last time it snowed was about 8 years ago and before that it was about 20. Just suggesting if you want to move far from the cold.
Gia ruiz At the end of the video, new cast said people who live in warm parts of US and Africa reached out to the mom and said it is about the mositure in the air.
My best friend's little girl has the same illness. I'd really love to help her if I could. Even if it's just to talk to people with the same illness I think it's a really scary illness to live with, even harder on kids can't play in the snow or the water my heart goes out to all. Parents that have to deal with this should have more supports and Doctors and people that don't believe should look it up before call someone a liar.
mine started this august when i held and ice cream carton at a farmers market outside.my hand turned blood red and swole right up. i dont get hives, but i get redness, swelling and lips and mouth swell and get itchy, numb when eating popsickles.. then it all burns. there does not seem to be alot of doctors here in toronto or allergist who know much about it. i am still waiting to see someone who will help. i have no clue what to wear this winter.
My twin sisters who were born the day this video was published; are allergic to the cold and it's horrible. I feel soo bad for them that they can't play outside and enjoy outdoor holiday activities. So I do my best (I also have a daughter that is 3 months younger than my sisters) to create indoor games and crafts and other activities that will keep them busy.
I live with this and have for most of my life. It isn't as easy as moving to a warmer place. Even the frozen food section of the grocery can set off a reaction. It is something that the person has to learn to live with and it is possible. No, I don't get ice cream, cold soda, or even sit near a.c. vents on restaurants; but I've learned to live with it. The older a person with this condition gets the easier it becomes to avoid situations that may cause a reaction.
I feel like i'm allergic to cold also. When it's cold i get spots kinda like mosquito bites and they're itchy ,like on my hands, my feet and my legs. My hands get a bit swollen also.
+Ekra Khan! It's probably cold urticaria. This is what I have, along with Raynaud's. You should get this checked out and get an epi-pen if needed. It can be dangerous when swimming and walking in the cold.
I have the same thing!! It developed when I hit puberty and nobody believed me, even with paperwork from my allergist and an epi-pen. I'm glad people are talking about it, I had reactions for months until we figured out what it was.
I have Cold Urticaria. I am allergic to the cold by direct and indirect contact. Being in cold weather causes my skin to form bumps and hives. (itchy and painful)Touching cold food/bowls of food causes my fingers to swell up and become itchy and very painful. Drinking cold drinks causes my lips to swell and become irritated. Being outside causes my ears to become red and burning. Swimming in cold water causes my entire body to form itchy hives. Even being in cold cars or rooms can trigger hives. Most all hives cause pain and itching. Sometimes it is so bad i need pressure applied on my body to stop me from scratching and itching. Normal winter days require my to wear tights, jeans, socks, closed toed shoes, tank top/ shirt sleeve shirt and a sweater, gloves, scarf, a hat, and a jacket. On very cold days, i require tights, leggings, jeans, socks, long sleeve shirt, sweater, jean jacket, puffy coat, scarf, gloves, earmuffs, and a hat. But even so my face will still redden, puff up, and have hives. Most people do not know about this disease and/or do not believe it is real.
hi my names erica & im on my bfs account and I seen you mentioned you& ya daughter are "allergic" to the cold. . so it is hereditary? I've had it my whole life & im 30 now. cold weather/air, water, foods/ drink. uck! I ALWAYS thought it was just me and I was the odd woman out. so I feel your struggle. hopefully it gets better. I've noticed since my 20s that it is not as severe as when I was younger.
Tahishaly Fontanez that's what I thought too it's nice knowing that other people are like me and know what it feels like I can only go outside for 2 minutes without getting hives in the winter, btw im 11
Parmetries OMG I HAVE THAT TOO I also have the thing that the lady in the video has and I have to be in perfect weather or.....I can die or heat too cold right now it is kinda cold so I feel like I'm slowing down
Bless her heart. I cannot imagine living with such a condition and fear the way they are. I was thinking to myself they should move to Florida but then I heard the female anchor mention that the little girl would not be able to be under air conditioner and in the south, well, the average person needs an ac lol. Idk. I just pray they have gotten some kind of answers since this clip was upload 4 years ago.
I also am elergic to the cold. Cold urticaria. And in elementary I was never allowed to go outside because it was always to cold. Even if I’m swimming in warm ish water i would still get hives🙄🙄😂😂
I also have this allergy, I can't believe I have finally found someone else who has the same condition as me. I was diagnosed at 8 years old and it means that I could never go out in cold weather.
i have this condition and in high school no one believed me but my own twin sister. to this day i don't like telling anyone due to people laughing and not believing me. my allergist was shocked when she did an ice pack test on me. i didn't develop it until i was about 16 years old. its very hard to have this condition and living in BC Canada when the temperatures start to drop. and its not like u can just pick up and move to a warmer place. to this day i have never met anyone that has this condition, even my twin sister does't have it. seeing this clip makes me cry, because how her mom says how people didn't believe her. because its a very scary condition. it would be wonderful to talk to someone who has a experience in this or is going through this.
I have Raynaud’s phenomenon and I can kind of relate to her. Mine isn’t life threatening of course, but when I get cold which is almost constantly my joints hurt so bad it makes me cry sometimes. I’m considering moving to a warmer country
Such a relief to know that I'm not the only one..whenever I touch something cold I get swollen skin and itchy rash..I also am a patient of allergic rhinitis..but fortunately I live in a tropical climate.but few months of winter is extremely painful for me..I tried to tell my family but they think I'm making it up..
The saddest part is that total strangers who have never seen her in physical distress have the nerve to call her and her mother liars. They know NOTHING.
Harley Carter "It dosen't have to be winter for a reaction to occur. Simple having wet hair rest on your neck after a shower is enough to trigger a reaction and thats what most people dont understand." Also, 3:55 watch the whole video before you type in a really simple answer.
I'm glad her parents and teachers can't find any solution other than putting her in the principles office. People are so self centered. Oh no, don't move to where it's warm. Just keep your daughter in a miserable existence. Wtf. That girl is going to grow up in a weird way. They're messing her up by leaving her in isolation like that. Im so annoyed by this. Her parents need smacked hard into some sense. They literally moved from a cold place to a cold place. Selfish. Oh if we move to where it's hot we can't use the ac, our daughter lives in constant isolation, but we don't want to be uncomfortable in the heat. Way to go parents.
Sarah Leslie-Marie Okay, well first of all, stop judging her parents? It's incredibly difficult to be a parent of a child with a rare disorder, and I'm sure they're doing their best. I have this allergy. I was diagnosed with it when I was 11; I'm 20 now. Is isolating a child good? No, but it's better than letting a child die. Being socially outcast from this growing up SUCKED, but at the end of the day it was better to miss some things than to have a reaction. I'm just glad her school believes her; mine DIDN'T, and had a lot of back-and-forth with my doctor before agreeing to make the bare minimum accommodations necessary. And moving to somewhere warm doesn't help, but not because the parents are "selfish" & want to blast the ac. It's because PUBLIC PLACES you CANNOT avoid, like schools, stores, workplaces, etc. will blast the ac, and that's something the parents cannot control. Don't be so quick to name-call & judge someone when you have no idea what they're going through.
Sarah Leslie-Marie In the video, the news cast said people reached out to the mom and told her even in warm places doesn't help. They told her it is about the moisture in the air.
Anna Driver Yeah I saw that. I just think it's a little ridiculous to sit her in the office like that. That's sort of lazy thinking, you know? There has to be a better solution.
Sarah Leslie-Marie At my school me and another boy have it. So the principal made a room inside, so when it's lunch break we can go in there with maximum 3 other students and play cards, board games etc.
As odd as it is, I have never met or seen someone else with this allergy. When I was about 7 I discovered I was allergic to the cold. I would get these hives all over my body and they would be so extremely itchy. I am 21 now and moved to Texas. And have yet to get hives when I'm cold in 2 years. No one believed me that I was allergic besides my family because they saw it actually happen to me. Keep your head up girl. You may grow out of it. I pray you do because it isn't easy
This video is so touching for me because i am going through that too. I also have cold urticaria and we cant afford to move to a place with a warmer climate.
I never liked spring weather because it was always cloudy and raining but cloud mild weather has suddenly become my new best friend. It’s a sad life, I’m missing out on a lot but not that much, my husband and I go out for movies late evening or to dinner or stay home, but if I were a kid it would probably be more difficult.
Im 52 years and have this alergy since I was 10, it’s vary difficult to live with... almost handicapped, but the worst thing is that I’m no considered that. A few times I tried to get the licensed plates but the governed don’t granted for this tipe of sickness.
I have the same thing!! I live in Queensland, Australia so air con is the worst. Also bare skin on cold surfaces, and after showering. It’s not as severe as hers though, just non stop sneezing/runny nose and eye watering. Sometimes I will take up to 4 zyrtecs in the space of a few hours if it won’t stop and I have to be at work.
My mother is as well. I remember my mother & I sat in a movie theater that was so cold she broke out in a rash of hives on her legs that caused her to itch herself so severely that she had to step outside & come back several times, she didn’t want me to miss out on watching the film even if she was in discomfort & even at risk of needing medical attention😕
My cousin has that since she was a kid. She's 42 now. Temps in the 50's cause her to get spots and have angiodema. She has a sauna thing in her room and she sits in it in her room nearly every day in the winter and it helps her.
You can actually try moving to countries where its hot like Singapore. As we are 1° North of the equator, it is much warmer and never drops below 28°c. It is also all year round summer and never snows here. Singapore also have good education system which is a pro point of migriating to Singapore. It is also really safe here. Most importantly, it is usually 35°c here
I don't even have this condition, and I hate the cold. In fact, only recently, my temperature has been playing up. It's almost as if my body isn't satisfied with the temperature around me. Like for a minute or two, I will make sure that I am cooler by putting a fan on, and after those minutes, I would do something to make myself warmer again. there's no middle ground, and I even hate the thought of being lukewarm. It's like I can be above lukewarm and below lukewarm, and it's a really weird thing that happens to me. I have no idea why. When I'm in the car with my friend, there's never a moment where the fan isn't on. I have to constantly change it. She's a good friend so she doesn't mind.
i remember seeing on extreme makeover home edition had one episode with a girl who cant sweat & always have to be in the cold... they look alike in my vague memory..
My sister had Cold Urticaria too. Winter can literally be deadly to her. People thought my parents and she was crazy for years til she finally got an official diagnosis after she went into an anaphylatic reaction sent by ambulance to ER just from playing outside in the snow during recess.
my sister used to work with a guy in Halifax that was allergic to the cold. When the warehouse where he worked was cold, he would use the remote control car starter to start his car and then go sit in the car until they got the warehouse heated up again. He used to have to wear a coat in the warehouse. He broke out in spots. My cousin is allergic to the sun. She breaks out in blisters
I had a coworker that dealt with this as well. She would have to carry a epipen with her because any bit of cold air could send her into shock. We were all taught how to help her in case something ever happened.
I actually had cold urticaria until the age of 7 but I actually grew out of the allergy, however I then gained a disease called aquagenic wrinkling of the palms when the cold allergy went away. And I still have AWP to this day!
I have a very minor form of the same thing. I can't swim anymore, even though I love to, and morning classes in school are terrible. I've also found that moisture makes it worse - I hate rainy weather.
I have this, however I noticed that my hives are triggered by the change in temperature. I live in NYC, so in the winter/fall, when I come from outside into a warm/room temperature building I start breaking out in hives.
I have the same allergy the hives and swelling and itching always happen in the cold, and are ok for me to deal with , going on runs is difficult to due to the wind and sweat creating the hives as well. but I have lost my eyesight for a little bit after getting out of the ocean and blacked out from extream weather change .but I live in the mountains and love it . just alway have to bundle up and not play with snow
Why haven't her parents moved to somewhere warmer?
It can be really expensive to move, especially when it's to another state/country. And then her parents would have to find another job and that can also be really difficult
+Bree Olivia its more difficult living in worry like that. If i was her mom i would sell everything and move to florida
I have this too, but my family is not moving anytime soon. Im off to college in a year so im looking into maybe going to an out of state warm place for college
Mary Hines it's not as easy to move especially since toronton has ohip which means free medical insurance, plus, finding another job in a whole nee other country is really difficult
Did you not listen to the end? It expains
why is she not homeschooled
exacally
+Amy Lovelock ***Exactlly
+Leticia Williams ****Exactly
Ekra Khan! I was close xD
+abc 123 I know those arent real friends who dont comfort her yeah they dont think shes a liar
Aw that's cruel. They should at least give her something to do while everyone else is playing
LeapOf Faith if I worked at that school, I would volunteer my lunch break to hang out with her and have activities for her to do. Surely the school could have an EA engage the poor child!
I know right. It's not her fault poor thing. She still deserves to have fun and play with her friends and do what every other child her age does.
I'm allergic to the cold too
Well the school is weird, she should wear more clothes
So move to a warmer climate to keep her safer. No place will be perfect but somewhere hot will help
Erin Duffy listen to the end
Learn how much moving to a different place costs then ask that question again.
Erin Duffy Singapore 🇸🇬 will help it is super hot here
I have this condition as well. Moving to a warmer climate isn't always the answer, as you have to deal with air conditioning. Also, your threshold can change, so if your normal is warmer you can react to temperatures which aren't as cold.
Y K B I live in NJ, so for instance last week we had a few mornings in the 60s and that was enough too make my hands break out while I was driving. I get hives ever time i get out of the shower, every time I change the laundry to the dryer, every time i take food out of the fridge. I always have gloves, a jacket, and an epipen. It's more about the change in temp than how cold it actually is. Sweat can cause hives because it cools your skin. I can't swim anymore, can't go out in the winter without serious layering - need to keep my mouth covered so I don't breath in cold air and can still only take if for maybe 5 minutes. Very frustrating. I've lived with it for over 20 years now.
Why doesn't the school let her invite her friends into the office?
featherqueen31 because she really has no friends
oscar serpent x that's not nice
featherqueen31 ikr, tbh if she was my friend I would stay with her. So many likes 😮
+Jacelyn Duncan he wasn't being mean she said it in the video their not her friends because they think she's lying.
featherqueen31 the school needs to be more friendly to her
she needs a good dose of Australia
Erin Diehl your not wrong 😂 feels like you can't breathe with the humidity
Effie Caren at least she wouldn't fear anything with the heat we've had! Hahaha
suga kookie armyyy!!!
hayoung ARMY!!!!
suga kookie
no she needs to move to Tasmania. Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world and the cleanest water
why does she not move to Hawaii here in Hawaii it never drops below 60 degrees
:))
It costs a lot of money and they would need to secure a job first. Not always feasible.
do you know how expensive it is? you obviously have no sense in that. you can’t just pack up your bags and move to such a expensive state, it’s not easy
Jason I have the same thing as her but I am also allergic to the hot weather
Jason Im on my way
To all the people saying move to somewhere warmer, did you not watch until the end where it said that it's not completely the temperature that affects them but the humidity. She would have to move somewhere hotter with less humidity, which would be very difficult to find
Katrina Crahart true I have the same alergy, people don’t understand
Thank u!! And I have this! Mine started appearing in 80 degree F weather! I live in Ohio very hot humid summers but very cold winters
My dad lives in Florida n my hives & itching were just as bad if not worse there
IT FOLLOWS U!
PPL W PEANUT ALLERGIES AREN'T ASKED TO MOVE. WHY WLD PPL THINK THAT WE WHO HAVE ALLERGY TO TEMPERATURE CHANGE & COLD
COLD URTICARIA RARE
SHLD OR CLD MOVE & IT WLD MAGICALLY GO AWAY? THATS SILLY!
THANK U FOR WRITING UR COMMENT! IT WAS FRUSTRATING ME SEEING EVERYONE SAY JUST MOVE!
Sorry cap lock was on
@@twc8433I have it too and no, people don't. I agree
That's mean that they make her stay all alone in the principal's office during break time. I had a condition when I was at school that was aggravated by cold weather so my school gave me a 'pass' thingy where me and a couple of friends could spend break time in the back room of a classroom.
At my school me and another boy have it. So the principal made a room inside, so when it's lunch break we can go in there with maximum 3 other students and play cards, board games etc.
Everyone in my school just stays inside during winter anyway. Seems strange that they're not allowed inside when it's cold
I don’t think anyone’s forcing her to stay alone, but maybe kids just want to play outside but I’m sure her friends sit with her sometimes
cant she just move to a very warm place?
exacally
Money is a good reason, the fact that few in warm areas are politically stable (places warm all year round) another would be that family could be cut off.
+The Mangle Lover Air conditioning would wreck her.
+The Mangle Lover my brother suffers from the same allergy and when he is at a warm place his body starts to sweat (which is normal to cool the body down) but because of the body trying to cool down itself he suffers again so even a warm place can't help.
there's air conditioner in canada lol
I also have this allergy. When I was a kid it used to be the opposite where I had an allergy to the heat. Now that I'm 27 I'm allergic to the cold. It started around when I was 21. I can't swim and walking my dog is terrible. Any part of my skin that gets cold swells with hives. NO ONE BELIEVES ME UNTIL THEY SEE IT!! I also can't breathe in cold air without feeling like my lungs are itchy. I feel you kiddo!
why can't they just move to a warmer place
DARIA •-• jobs, friends, family. lots of reasons
Karlie Fish Yess But Her Child Health's Is Much More Important .Family & Friends Could Always Visite Her So That Aint an Excuse
+Honey. Bnt Its expensive to move and even then there is no escape.
TheMinkmermaid Yep Ure Right But There's a Solution For Everything
DARIA •-• its honestly very related to the humidity of places. i have a milder version of it and I used to live in Hong Kong, which is almost tropical and very humid. however with the always 80% or higher humidity, My allergy triggers at around 65F. now I live in Las Vegas thats very dry but winter is colder, my tolerance is higher and takes more to trigger.
I am also allergic to the cold (Cold Urticaria)... At first my friends also didn't believe me. They support me now and keep me company inside the lunch room when it's cold outside. Mine is not as bad... I would get hives if I were outside in the cold though. I can still eat cold foods and I also can only be outside in the snow for 5 minutes.
same
I don't break out in hives I just swell up like no ones Business. As soon as it hits 60°- 50° I have to bundle up, but my skin, even though it's covered, turns bright red and burns and it hurts to breathe. I want to move to Hawaii😩
Aleea Marie are all of u sure ur allergic to the cold my sister is allergic to the cold my sister has to go to the office too
+The Fluffy Corgi I went to the allergy person and they did a test and I am
Aleea Marie
I feel so sorry for you... I hope you are ok.
I dont think she'll be coming to the UK anytime soon
Or Canada
Stella C she lives in Canada
Charley Smith I probably would too
Thani bq Gaming thats becuase you live in a warm country. If you live somewhere cold like me I would really want to commit suicide
+Jp.Girl commit suicide?!?! I love in the uk and I'm allergic to the cold I get sent to the hospital and all 4 it I wouldn't commit suicide it's just hurts
why do they make her just sit in the office????
She looks like her mom a lot!
Oh sweetie, my husband has cold induced urticaria as well. It's a good thing we live in Florida. His test was simple, they did the ice cube thing and he broke out in hives and his tongue swelled!
move to Hawaii
I flipping wish we could, it's too expensive to move out there and we're in the same lat as Hawaii. I think a bit lower.
it is super expensive to live her
Tina Chandler I hope u and ur husband is doing well,this rare allergy seems scary :/
I hate having this :( especially in gym it's so embarrassing to have to tell the teacher and other students that you have to go inside and can't participate. Most people don't believe me only my close friends, doctor, parents and sometimes teachers. Some people even make fun of me for it cause they either think I'm telling a joke, lying or think the red dots or hives are funny. I hate the winter I could never go outside and play in the snow and go sledding. I can't be outside for more than 15 minutes if it's under 60 or I get a huge rash. I can't go swimming at least the water is 85. And at the beach I can't go in the water so I just bring an inflatable pool :(
+PIGS will EAT cookies Hey, I'm 31 now and it did get a little better as i got older. I still get hives but not like when I was younger. Better clothes and layers help check out REI. It was embarrassing but not I just deal with it. Gym use to be horrible, I agree, but you shouldn't shut down for the winter, you will be missing life.
PIGS will EAT cookies I just never get snow in southern California
PIGS will EAT cookies - What I have is the opposite of what you have. The air conditioner has to be on all year long. If it's over 79 degrees, I'll start itching, and stinging. It always starts on my back. I can't take warm baths either. I can go outside in the summer for 10 to 15 minutes unless it's too, too hot. I can eat hot or cold foods. If it's cold enough in my house, I can wash dishes in real warm water. My house doesn't get cold enough in the summer for me to be able to wash very many dishes. The only thing I can do in the sun is swim. The water keeps me cool. The best temperature for me is around 64 degrees.
PIGS will EAT cookies aww I'm sorry
omg I'm so sorry
I have the same allergic reaction, and I’ve had it for 7 years. You can ingest cold food, or at least I can which she appertaining can’t, but I can’t be exposed to cold temperatures for a long period of time. It sucks but hopefully I’ll grow out of it.
Mine just got worse! But I read somewhere that sometimes the histamine levels gets better & it goes away after 7 years!? That gives me hope I've had now cpl years, this past being worst
But I also read story where a lady had for 30 yrs and that bummed me
But the hopeful part of her story was there was new treatment? I'm waiting to go to allergist to find out more!! I can't handle & live like this anymore!
Hope u are doing ok? I was told I can't get Covid Vaccine due to anaphlactic shock & epi pen so I'm still in my self imposed prison under the covers for past 16 months ugh
I have this, but the older I’ve gotten the less severe the reaction. Wen I was little even a chilly pool would have me in welts and hives. I remember going out in the snow and getting wet,and cold and being covered head to toe in big itchy hives after that my mom wouldn’t let me play in the snow no more . I hope she grows out of it like I did.
If people are thinking that they have this issue, look up Raynaud's disease (syndrome).
I personally have this syndrome and it's another form of being allergic to the cold. different effects to this case.
Raynaud's disease signs and symptoms include:
-Cold fingers or toes
-Color changes in your skin in response to cold or stress
-Numb, prickly feeling or stinging pain upon warming or stress relief
Hopefully someone recognizes the signs listed here.
Abyss I have raynauds
Abyss I think I have that, but mild. When even slightly cold, my toes, nose, and ears feel like they're freezing.
Plus, it's pretty common so I think I'm good.
I didn't think I had this but i honestly think I have a mild form of raynauds because my entire life I have been very sensitive to cold (I live in Ireland and its always cold 😨😂) and my legs go a very noticeable shade of deepish purple/blue whenever im even slightly cooler than above average heat. My toes used to often go freezing cold in mild temperatures and I had a bright red nose from the beginning of Autumn until the end of spring every year up until two years ago. My hands have recently started getting very cold without me realising and my legs still go purple-blue shades and I've always had what looks like razor bumps on my legs before I even shaved them ever. Weird thing is since I began shaving they started clearing up more 😂
Abyss OMFG I HAVE THIS THE DOCOTRS ALWAYS SAID IT WAS COD URTICARIEA TYSM!!
Abyss my brother is allergic the cold
Sorry, but why doesn't she just take online school?
nostringsattatched ikr
nostringsattatched or just be homeschooled
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing tbh
It's harder than you think and her parents want her to live a normal life just like another other parent would want their kids to... it costs money and she can't take any GCSE without going to school there is no way of doing a GCSE online
Becky if her mother wants he to have a normal life Then she should sell her things and move to somewhere with a warm climate so she doesn't have to stay inside
well she can't stay in Canada
I developed it a year after moving to Canada.
This is actually really sad. Imagine how much she has missed out on her whole lives. Many prayers from Minnesota!
They should try moving to a country where its hot all the time.
Air conditioning could hurt her tho
hawaii is perfect, not hot but NEVER cold!
Airplanes are very cold. I don't think she could handle long haul flights otherwise I'd suggest Singapore. It's never cold there so she could spend a lot of time outside with friends.
Joshie102 exactly like move to Hawaii
Joshie102 no bc I have the same thing but even more rare that I am allergic to hot,cold,clorin,shampoo,fish,penutsext...
To everyone asking why she doesn’t just get homeschooled, not all parents can afford to have one parent stay home full time to teach. It also isn’t fair to isolate a child from friends and socialization, not the mention the drawbacks homeschooling can have.
I am so sorry for this amazing little girl for what she's going through. hugs
I do believe it, I have allergy to the cold. not so bad as the little girl but I do get itchy, little bumps like mosquito bites appear on my skin then if I don't go warm up immediately the hives will get bigger and so painful spreading through the body. A/C also makes me get them. Also I suffer from chillblains (pernio) not only affecting me on winter time but mostly on spring. many many Doctors don't even know what it is and look at you like you are crazy, so frustrating so I understand how the mom and the daughter feel. Just know you are not alone in this. do what you have to to protect her, don't matter what other people think. good luck.
i have this too not nice at all
YES I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE
Alejandra O. I have it too for more than two years now
Same here.. had it since I was 14. As I got older seems like it has worsened.. I use to go longer without a breakout, but now it's more often and all over.. breathing started to become difficult as well during a breakout.. Moving to a warmer climate not much of a help... The cooler summer nights, getting out of shower and into any cooler air, normal re warming from the cold , anyone of these can cause a breakout.. Although I've noticed it does happen more when there is moisture involved, just rained , raining, shower etc... Anyone of you notice the same or just a coincidence??
It can get worse
Keep eye out & keep epi pen handy !! In case throat closes up! Mine started same way like u!
She should move to either Texas or Arizona
Selly Texas gets very cold surprisingly haha!
Selly It’s 35 degrees right now and I live in Texas
It’s not just the weather it’s everything. The air conditioning, cold water, cold drinks, she will never be able to escape this.
How about hawaii
How about Florida 🌞🌝👍
move to a tropical place? or a desert?
We live in the Middle East, it can reach a maximum of 50。C and in the winter it falls to the low tens (low of 12) so it does get cold even in a desert
Cool cloud i fforgot abouutt tthat
7saany not everyone has the money.
At night they fall way below freezing.
7saany well I have the same thing as that girl but I am also allergic too the hot so ya
OMG! I suffer from something like that.. like it can't KILL me , but I also get itchy and I HAAATE it. Nobody believes me.
Try Allegra it might help, I have the same thing doctors prescribed me it but I really hope they do more research.
Karla Fiona I believe you bc I also have it IN THE SAME EXACT WAS
Edit: And I'm allergic to hot too sooooo yaaaaa😖
2 edit:Nobody believes me that I'm allergic to BOTH
SAME
I believe you because I suffer from this too. It’s miserable.
Mine started out like urs! I pray u won't need Epi Pen n get anaphlactic shock & diagnosed w cold urticaria rare
Uticaria (which means itchy) can eventually turn to urticaria
It progressed in mine! But once I got the hives two months later I got diagnosed & handed epi pen
It sux
Thank you for sharing your story. I can imagine the reactions you have had. Just because people have not heard of it does not mean it does not exist.
I have this, Cold Urtaceria, it is caused by Having a virus and it is a immune disease. If you have a mild case you can cure it by going on a detox cleanse.
Move to Arizona!!!! I was born there. It gets to be over 118-125 degrees in summer and in winter it doesn't get that cold. Also, it's a very dry climate so there's not s lot of moisture
It’s not just the weather even the air conditioning can hurt her. Did you watch the video?
Poor little girl, she's such a sweetheart. I hope she will eventually get rid of that allergy!
I had that happen and it was terrifying I saw a naturopathic and he helped to heal me. I still react to extreme temperatures both heat and cold but not to that degree anymore I will contact that website to help her. I swore if I survived and got better I would help others with the illness.
Just move to Phoenix AZ. She won't need to worry about cold weather at all 😂
twenty øne piløts girl omg same
Arizona, still 80 degrees right now
twenty øne piløts girl YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAASSSSSS I LOVE TØP
My dad has a bee allergy.
*gold clap*
I used to be allergic to the cold around the same age, and in my early teen years. The cold temperatures regardless of outside or in a lake or ocean I would get hives that were incredibly itchy and would swell into large red patches all over my body. Sometimes I would have trouble breathing and have wheezing. It doesn't really matter where you live, my first reaction and the most sever occurred in the middle of summer vacation while swimming in a pool in Germany. My whole body had hives and I started experiencing chills and light headedness. Family rushed me to a pharmacy for an allergy medication. From then on I was allergic to the cold for many years and I grew up in Canada. There is not much you can do other than stay warm and keep reactine allergy pills with you at all times. I really hope her reactions fade away as she gets older, like it has with me. The poor girl, I totally understand the way she feels, I barely told anybody when I was a child, afraid of people thinking I was lying.
I lived in LA for almost all my life and when I moved to New York I had the cold allergy for couple of weeks but I recovered. I hope she gets better :)
i was so nervous and scared to be in this and im going to be making a reacting video to it
Are you the girl in this news story? If so, I hope you are doing ok! Are you still living in Canada?
Paigley .T I know how you feel.
Paigley .T I have Cold urticaria too. It sucks.
Paigley .T You poor girl. Hoping one day the doctor's will find a cure for this. My best friend can relate to you too.💖💖💖
Your not alone in the suffering Paigley i have it to but mine is more deadly i hope your okay though its nice to know that i'm not the only one suffering from this
I HAVE THIS but what sucks is I found out last year I'm a diver and that's what I live for. In September last year I kept getting really bad gives I went to the allergic person and they said I couldn't dive and I will die if I keep diving. it I've learned to manage it but I have an epipen just in case it's not super bad just cold air and water
I feel your pain. I also dive and have cold urticaria. I dive in shallow water with thick wet suits, but only in the summer and it seems to work for me.
Chloe and Morgan me too
Chloe and Morgan i also have it, and I used to live in Hong Kong, which is very humid. its not even that cold, but if I washed my hands in cold weather, my fingers will swell up in pain. same goes to my knees, thighs, feet, and pretty much all joint areas. It can start once its lower than 65F. sometimes going to malls in summer could trigger it. it is frustrating.
Chloe and Morgan OMG I HAVE THIS NOW I AM SCARED TO GO DIVING TOMORROW
Chloe and Morgan I know how you feel X when I get cold at all I get red blotches on my skin when I scratch it it spreads down my arm or leg it hurts and people make fun of me it's winter at the moment so it gets worse, I found out 4 years ago, it started on my legs then spread up to my face,
I have the same allergy. My school overreacted too. My friends are supportive as they have seen what it has done to me. Awareness is key.
Omg.... stay strong 😭❤ God bless
I also have an allergy to the cold. I break out in hives and my tounge may swell. I take Zyrtec which helps.
I live in south Texas next to the border. We only have about 2-3 months of actual cold winter. In December it can get up to 70 degrees. It gets cold only from Jan-mid March. The last time it snowed was about 8 years ago and before that it was about 20. Just suggesting if you want to move far from the cold.
Gia ruiz At the end of the video, new cast said people who live in warm parts of US and Africa reached out to the mom and said it is about the mositure in the air.
Imelda Ruiz You would have to worry about the AC being on.
My 2year old daughter has this allergy also.
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully a solution will be found
My best friend's little girl has the same illness. I'd really love to help her if I could. Even if it's just to talk to people with the same illness I think it's a really scary illness to live with, even harder on kids can't play in the snow or the water my heart goes out to all. Parents that have to deal with this should have more supports and Doctors and people that don't believe should look it up before call someone a liar.
mine started this august when i held and ice cream carton at a farmers market outside.my hand turned blood red and swole right up. i dont get hives, but i get redness, swelling and lips and mouth swell and get itchy, numb when eating popsickles.. then it all burns. there does not seem to be alot of doctors here in toronto or allergist who know much about it. i am still waiting to see someone who will help. i have no clue what to wear this winter.
Ms. Cherry Blossom.. Message me!
Adi Kanda i did..:)
Just saying wouldn't it be best if they lived in the Caribbean or somewhere hot so she can go outside more
My twin sisters who were born the day this video was published; are allergic to the cold and it's horrible. I feel soo bad for them that they can't play outside and enjoy outdoor holiday activities. So I do my best (I also have a daughter that is 3 months younger than my sisters) to create indoor games and crafts and other activities that will keep them busy.
I live with this and have for most of my life. It isn't as easy as moving to a warmer place. Even the frozen food section of the grocery can set off a reaction. It is something that the person has to learn to live with and it is possible. No, I don't get ice cream, cold soda, or even sit near a.c. vents on restaurants; but I've learned to live with it. The older a person with this condition gets the easier it becomes to avoid situations that may cause a reaction.
Don't come to Ireland lol
Ikr lol
Ahtlolevad10x21 yeah lol
Or Scotland
Ahtlolevad10x21 Australia
Don't come to the UK full stop haha were cold all year round
I feel like i'm allergic to cold also. When it's cold i get spots kinda like mosquito bites and they're itchy ,like on my hands, my feet and my legs. My hands get a bit swollen also.
I have the exact same reactions as you!! but mine appear just when its cold not by eating ice cream or anything like that
I was diagnosed with cold urticaria. Usually you cant eat cold things either or at least in my case. I would get it checked out.
Maria Paula Nucamendi Same only when it's cold
+Ekra Khan! wear a thick jacket lol
+Ekra Khan! It's probably cold urticaria. This is what I have, along with Raynaud's. You should get this checked out and get an epi-pen if needed. It can be dangerous when swimming and walking in the cold.
I have the same thing!! It developed when I hit puberty and nobody believed me, even with paperwork from my allergist and an epi-pen. I'm glad people are talking about it, I had reactions for months until we figured out what it was.
I have Cold Urticaria. I am allergic to the cold by direct and indirect contact. Being in cold weather causes my skin to form bumps and hives. (itchy and painful)Touching cold food/bowls of food causes my fingers to swell up and become itchy and very painful. Drinking cold drinks causes my lips to swell and become irritated. Being outside causes my ears to become red and burning. Swimming in cold water causes my entire body to form itchy hives. Even being in cold cars or rooms can trigger hives. Most all hives cause pain and itching. Sometimes it is so bad i need pressure applied on my body to stop me from scratching and itching. Normal winter days require my to wear tights, jeans, socks, closed toed shoes, tank top/ shirt sleeve shirt and a sweater, gloves, scarf, a hat, and a jacket. On very cold days, i require tights, leggings, jeans, socks, long sleeve shirt, sweater, jean jacket, puffy coat, scarf, gloves, earmuffs, and a hat. But even so my face will still redden, puff up, and have hives. Most people do not know about this disease and/or do not believe it is real.
Me n my son are allergic to the cold, cold water!!! Thought it was just us
Wow that is sad that BOTH of you are allergic to the cold
Tahishaly Fontanez at least there lots of things to keep u warm! [i try to look on the bright side]
hi my names erica & im on my bfs account and I seen you mentioned you& ya daughter are "allergic" to the cold. . so it is hereditary? I've had it my whole life & im 30 now. cold weather/air, water, foods/ drink. uck! I ALWAYS thought it was just me and I was the odd woman out. so I feel your struggle. hopefully it gets better. I've noticed since my 20s that it is not as severe as when I was younger.
I'm sorry I wrote daughter. . meant to write YOUR SON. apologizes
Tahishaly Fontanez that's what I thought too it's nice knowing that other people are like me and know what it feels like I can only go outside for 2 minutes without getting hives in the winter, btw im 11
I'm allergic to the hot. My skin gets all red and afterword can start peeling. I also exude fluid from my pores.
Parmetries that’s called a sunburn honey
Michela Short it's called a joke honey
Parmetries it’s called a sunburn 😂
Parmetries OMG I HAVE THAT TOO I also have the thing that the lady in the video has and I have to be in perfect weather or.....I can die or heat too cold right now it is kinda cold so I feel like I'm slowing down
Parmetries then don't joke about this stuff it's serious
Bless her heart. I cannot imagine living with such a condition and fear the way they are. I was thinking to myself they should move to Florida but then I heard the female anchor mention that the little girl would not be able to be under air conditioner and in the south, well, the average person needs an ac lol. Idk. I just pray they have gotten some kind of answers since this clip was upload 4 years ago.
My friend has this exact thing only slightly less extreme. We always make sure she's warm and she carries medication wherever she goes.
I also am elergic to the cold. Cold urticaria. And in elementary I was never allowed to go outside because it was always to cold. Even if I’m swimming in warm ish water i would still get hives🙄🙄😂😂
Should move to Florida
goal pop too cold in the winter.
goal pop true
I also have this allergy, I can't believe I have finally found someone else who has the same condition as me. I was diagnosed at 8 years old and it means that I could never go out in cold weather.
I also have the same allergy as her, the exact same. But thankfully I live in a place that's always sunny.
I'm allergic to heat (summers), I get the same kind of rashes. I know how it feels. 😕
uhm it's very different because heat rash isn't life threatening
so they gave the interview outside on a windy day 😑
😐....😂
Katherine j lol like wtf
Dajah Warfield windy not cold
aiyanna peoples but wind can be cold because it's a breeze like a fan
i have this condition and in high school no one believed me but my own twin sister. to this day i don't like telling anyone due to people laughing and not believing me. my allergist was shocked when she did an ice pack test on me. i didn't develop it until i was about 16 years old. its very hard to have this condition and living in BC Canada when the temperatures start to drop. and its not like u can just pick up and move to a warmer place.
to this day i have never met anyone that has this condition, even my twin sister does't have it.
seeing this clip makes me cry, because how her mom says how people didn't believe her. because its a very scary condition.
it would be wonderful to talk to someone who has a experience in this or is going through this.
I have Raynaud’s phenomenon and I can kind of relate to her. Mine isn’t life threatening of course, but when I get cold which is almost constantly my joints hurt so bad it makes me cry sometimes. I’m considering moving to a warmer country
She needs to go to Texas it's really hot here
Libby Qualls year round?
I have a friend who has a condition like this but to the heat. No he doesn't just get sunburns. It's an actual allergy. He gets hives and it's deadly.
Alexander Hamilton my friend is like that and I am allergic to the cold! Me and her are like total opposites for being best friends
well hi
Me too! I’m allergic but it can be controlled with medication.
Such a relief to know that I'm not the only one..whenever I touch something cold I get swollen skin and itchy rash..I also am a patient of allergic rhinitis..but fortunately I live in a tropical climate.but few months of winter is extremely painful for me..I tried to tell my family but they think I'm making it up..
The saddest part is that total strangers who have never seen her in physical distress have the nerve to call her and her mother liars. They know NOTHING.
OMG just move your child to Florida? if she's allergic to cold, why would you keep her somewhere where it gets that cold
Please watch the whole video. Explains why moving to warm/hot places doesn't help.
Air conditioners
Just fucking move to a place with a warmer climate
Haley Carter i laughed as i read this, i was thinking the same lol
Harley Carter "It dosen't have to be winter for a reaction to occur. Simple having wet hair rest on your neck after a shower is enough to trigger a reaction and thats what most people dont understand."
Also, 3:55 watch the whole video before you type in a really simple answer.
She can’t because she needs to go to the airport and the airport is sooo cold so yea
Ps. I am talking if she is going to Australia or something
So how young are u? Just move? Seems simple until your an adult and are aware of jobs mortgage credit etc. It's not that simple
Like az ;-;
I have the same allergy and now live in Arizona. But I still have reactions to the a/c so it does not really matter were you live.
Omg finally someone that has the same condition as me !!! It’s really annoying knowing you can possibly go into shock from the cold .
I'm glad her parents and teachers can't find any solution other than putting her in the principles office. People are so self centered.
Oh no, don't move to where it's warm. Just keep your daughter in a miserable existence. Wtf. That girl is going to grow up in a weird way. They're messing her up by leaving her in isolation like that. Im so annoyed by this. Her parents need smacked hard into some sense.
They literally moved from a cold place to a cold place. Selfish. Oh if we move to where it's hot we can't use the ac, our daughter lives in constant isolation, but we don't want to be uncomfortable in the heat.
Way to go parents.
Sarah Leslie-Marie Okay, well first of all, stop judging her parents? It's incredibly difficult to be a parent of a child with a rare disorder, and I'm sure they're doing their best. I have this allergy. I was diagnosed with it when I was 11; I'm 20 now. Is isolating a child good? No, but it's better than letting a child die. Being socially outcast from this growing up SUCKED, but at the end of the day it was better to miss some things than to have a reaction. I'm just glad her school believes her; mine DIDN'T, and had a lot of back-and-forth with my doctor before agreeing to make the bare minimum accommodations necessary. And moving to somewhere warm doesn't help, but not because the parents are "selfish" & want to blast the ac. It's because PUBLIC PLACES you CANNOT avoid, like schools, stores, workplaces, etc. will blast the ac, and that's something the parents cannot control. Don't be so quick to name-call & judge someone when you have no idea what they're going through.
Sarah Leslie-Marie In the video, the news cast said people reached out to the mom and told her even in warm places doesn't help. They told her it is about the moisture in the air.
Anna Driver Yeah I saw that. I just think it's a little ridiculous to sit her in the office like that. That's sort of lazy thinking, you know? There has to be a better solution.
Sarah Leslie-Marie At my school me and another boy have it. So the principal made a room inside, so when it's lunch break we can go in there with maximum 3 other students and play cards, board games etc.
As odd as it is, I have never met or seen someone else with this allergy. When I was about 7 I discovered I was allergic to the cold. I would get these hives all over my body and they would be so extremely itchy. I am 21 now and moved to Texas. And have yet to get hives when I'm cold in 2 years. No one believed me that I was allergic besides my family because they saw it actually happen to me. Keep your head up girl. You may grow out of it. I pray you do because it isn't easy
This video is so touching for me because i am going through that too. I also have cold urticaria and we cant afford to move to a place with a warmer climate.
I never liked spring weather because it was always cloudy and raining but cloud mild weather has suddenly become my new best friend. It’s a sad life, I’m missing out on a lot but not that much, my husband and I go out for movies late evening or to dinner or stay home, but if I were a kid it would probably be more difficult.
This is super relatable because I had a cold allergy and it was so far for me to tell people
Im 52 years and have this alergy since I was 10, it’s vary difficult to live with... almost handicapped, but the worst thing is that I’m no considered that.
A few times I tried to get the licensed plates but the governed don’t granted for this tipe of sickness.
I have the same thing!! I live in Queensland, Australia so air con is the worst. Also bare skin on cold surfaces, and after showering. It’s not as severe as hers though, just non stop sneezing/runny nose and eye watering. Sometimes I will take up to 4 zyrtecs in the space of a few hours if it won’t stop and I have to be at work.
Come move to Phoenix, Arizona! 115 in the summer 65 in the winter. It is a very dry heat.
My mother is as well. I remember my mother & I sat in a movie theater that was so cold she broke out in a rash of hives on her legs that caused her to itch herself so severely that she had to step outside & come back several times, she didn’t want me to miss out on watching the film even if she was in discomfort & even at risk of needing medical attention😕
Omg that’s so sad god bless her
My cousin has that since she was a kid. She's 42 now. Temps in the 50's cause her to get spots and have angiodema. She has a sauna thing in her room and she sits in it in her room nearly every day in the winter and it helps her.
I ran track with a girl who would break out in hives during cold weather. She bundled up and covered her face while running.
You can actually try moving to countries where its hot like Singapore. As we are 1° North of the equator, it is much warmer and never drops below 28°c. It is also all year round summer and never snows here. Singapore also have good education system which is a pro point of migriating to Singapore. It is also really safe here. Most importantly, it is usually 35°c here
Poor baby u just never know what people go through
I don't even have this condition, and I hate the cold. In fact, only recently, my temperature has been playing up. It's almost as if my body isn't satisfied with the temperature around me. Like for a minute or two, I will make sure that I am cooler by putting a fan on, and after those minutes, I would do something to make myself warmer again. there's no middle ground, and I even hate the thought of being lukewarm. It's like I can be above lukewarm and below lukewarm, and it's a really weird thing that happens to me. I have no idea why. When I'm in the car with my friend, there's never a moment where the fan isn't on. I have to constantly change it. She's a good friend so she doesn't mind.
i remember seeing on extreme makeover home edition had one episode with a girl who cant sweat & always have to be in the cold... they look alike in my vague memory..
My sister had Cold Urticaria too. Winter can literally be deadly to her. People thought my parents and she was crazy for years til she finally got an official diagnosis after she went into an anaphylatic reaction sent by ambulance to ER just from playing outside in the snow during recess.
my sister used to work with a guy in Halifax that was allergic to the cold. When the warehouse where he worked was cold, he would use the remote control car starter to start his car and then go sit in the car until they got the warehouse heated up again. He used to have to wear a coat in the warehouse. He broke out in spots. My cousin is allergic to the sun. She breaks out in blisters
I had a coworker that dealt with this as well. She would have to carry a epipen with her because any bit of cold air could send her into shock. We were all taught how to help her in case something ever happened.
I actually had cold urticaria until the age of 7 but I actually grew out of the allergy, however I then gained a disease called aquagenic wrinkling of the palms when the cold allergy went away. And I still have AWP to this day!
I have a very minor form of the same thing. I can't swim anymore, even though I love to, and morning classes in school are terrible. I've also found that moisture makes it worse - I hate rainy weather.
I have a student with this. She got hurt and we gave her an ice pack, she broke out in hives as soon as it touched her skin. Scared me to death.
I have this, however I noticed that my hives are triggered by the change in temperature. I live in NYC, so in the winter/fall, when I come from outside into a warm/room temperature building I start breaking out in hives.
I have the same allergy the hives and swelling and itching always happen in the cold, and are ok for me to deal with , going on runs is difficult to due to the wind and sweat creating the hives as well. but I have lost my eyesight for a little bit after getting out of the ocean and blacked out from extream weather change .but I live in the mountains and love it . just alway have to bundle up and not play with snow
