I like the fact that the doctor asks “how do you feel” “what effect does this on your life”?

Bless her. Glad its all sorted for her now. It just shows how important it is to see a specialist in their respective field of medicine.

Jayne seems so sweet, her voice is so calming. I'm sooo glad she can find a solution.

Jayne has such a calm and positive vibe, I’d love her to be my hairdresser!

I helped a customer that is allergy to a chemical used in dish soap. I helped her read all the labels to find one that didn't have that in it.

Figuring out what's triggering an allergic or intolerant reaction is a horrible and sometimes lengthy process. Especially when family doesn't believe it, even the ones in the medical field. Like reacting to Shae butter.

I have suffered with eczema since I was a newborn baby, and I am alergic to soap, tap water and chlorine. If I were to shower daily like most people I would have my whole body looking like this lady's hands...

Thank God she got the help she desperately needed. She's a good mother 💕

My mum has non-anaphylactic “cold urticaria”, which basically means she’d break out in hives all over when that area is exposed to colder temperatures. It honestly looks so painful, even though it doesn’t trigger anaphylaxis (blocked airway due to swelling from the allergy, for those who don’t want to look it up). I’m worried that will change one day, though; that her allergy will get worse... 😥

Dr. Emma actually listens to the patient and never judges. She finds the answers. So glad she helped her.❤

I think what's really sad about these programs and the comments under each video is how many people have just been left to suffer with debilitating conditions without help.
As someone who's also had a number of chronic conditions that took a long time to identify and required going to specialist after specialist, its really frustrating to see this happening to so many people.
The way our current health system is so fragmented and underfunded, it's so difficult to find a doctor who has the time or willingness to actually try and solve ongoing conditions or more complex issues. When we have the knowledge, tools and medicine to treat things that cause so much distress to people and prevent them from doing thier job or daily tasks, yet they go untreated, it just shows how much the current system is lacking. The NHS is so important and the fact that many people have to seek private help to get the treatments they need makes them inaccessible to those who don't have enough money.

What a sweetheart. Hope the healing continues!

When I was 2, I got eczema on the bend of my arms. It went away for a long time. When I went to high school, I broke out on my neck, face and arms. It went away once I was put on steroid creams. When I reached my senior years, it came back and never went away. It became extreme to the point I couldn't sleep anymore. I fought for 3 year solid years from 2015-2018. I was clear from late 2018 and all of 2019. When COVID happened, I was consistently washing my hands and now a year later and my hands have never been the same.... I stopped going to a doctor because steroid creams is all I was given. I'm now finding ways to treat it. While it does get better, it ends up worse later.

I love Dr. Emma. She's so wonderful with her patient interactions.

Saw that tub of Cereve and thought yup, that’s the one. In winter, I suffer from a combo of extremely dry skin and urticaria (heat/sweat induced hives) and that is the best to treat it, at least after using a couple of creams for psoriasis to get rid of the really acute problem.

As someone who was a nail tech a lot of people are allergic to acrylic or gel nail ingredients. Something to think about.

[carelsby]

I’d love to get allergy testing done to see what causes my dermatographia flareups. But its so expensive, and insurance doesnt give a shit unless something is actively killing you :/

[Alien_cancerian]

She looks so sweet and nice 🥺 Im so glad she got help 🥺

[technoshaman]

Jayne seems like the best friend you could video call whenever you need a pick me up

[TheCrystalgarden]

this is so fantastic! The reality of allergens is very real and the worst part is finding what allergen is causing the problem. I had a similar issue with my eyes. I started taking mass cell stabilizers to solve it.
