I'm Allergic to Exercise.
Symptoms are sweating, shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue, and more.

I have Aquagenic Urticaria and it’s extremely painful. I have to take 5-10 minute showers, sometimes less. Rashes appear quickly and it makes miserable. However, I am able to drink water, but I have to be careful about how much I am consuming as it can burn on the inside as well. It’s hard to explain that feeling. But I simply take shots to help me live my life and touch water on occasion, but it’s not the best solution. It’s such a rare condition that not a lot of people are aware of so this was a good example of what it’s like.

wait isn't over 70% of our body water?

Blocko lives in a computer. Water is bad for computers. Blocko is allergic to water!

[audreyl.]

as someone who has this, one of the most frustrating things is the lack of understanding and no way of relief. it’s very isolating and damaging when everything tried doesn’t work and it’s hard to do daily tasks.

*You can't wash your hands, you can't shower, you can't workout and you can't drink water*

Sadly, I have this. It started around 10 years old. Every time I showered, my skin grew itchier and more red until the point where the pain is so sharp it feels like acid. Wiping the moisture away helps me but the lingering effect is still there.

I've always wondered this. Thank you for answering it...👍

I am allergic to water (only after shower I get allergic, no rash, redness, pimples, or scales appear on my skin) The sensitivity lasts from 30 minutes to an hour, but the feeling is very painful, like whole your body is being pricked with needles at one time. It is very painful and I became tachycardic l always cry. But the strange thing is that I can drink water and I can cry and wash my face and hands without pain but if all my body touch the water the allergic comeeven if i didnt use soap or any thing .

I did a project in science class about a genetic disease and the one I had to research was angel man's syndrome. However most of the information I found talked more about how this disease happens and very little about what the symptoms are. could you maybe do a video on that?

[ryguystudios]

Please do a video on a auto-amune condition called P.A.N.D.A.S it is a very horrible and life ruining disease. I have had it for 7 out of 12 years of my life. I have gotten many treatments but it NEVER works. And it started when my mom/dad let me outside when I was really little and then I got bitten by a tick and then after that I got limes disease and then I got P.A.N.D.A.S from the limes. Btw the limes was inactive and was cured about a year ago yay! But I want the rest to go away now. D; I also have the worss possible strain of the condition.Guys please like so he can see!
