Buy allergy and eczema products

Below are just some of the products I recommend for helping with allergy & eczema. Many of them are now trusted regulars and I’ve developed affiliate links with quite a few of them so check below for discount links!

Note: I do get a small referral fee when you purchase some of the products using my ‘buy’ links below – this helps keep WhatAllergy.com running! Because I pay for hosting, maintenance and support monthly! Blogging is an expensive hobby!

Item Description

NEW collection of eczema poems. The book I wish I'd had growing up with a skin condition. This is healing in a book.
Buy a signed copy direct from me! It could work out cheaper, especially if you live in Europe as Amazon Brexit prices seem to be crazy.

SIGNED COPY - Anaphylaxis - The Essential Guide

The knowledge that you could die from a severe allergic reaction can severely limit your life. Anxiety is a natural emotion, it keeps you safe, but what happens when that fear takes over? In the Anaphylaxis: The Essential Guide: An Action Plan For Living With Life-Threatening Allergies , you will find practical tips, advice and guidance to help you survive and thrive with severe allergies. I have some special signed copies available at £8.00 (plus postage). It's £9.99 on Amazon so a tiny discount.

Hello, I’m Ruth, author and blogger

Ruth

 

Hi I'm Ruth. I've grown up with eczema and multiple life-threatening allergies and collected more as I've got older.  It started with a peanut allergy and now I'm allergic to milk, wheat, soya and many more. In this blog I share tips, advice and things I've learnt living with allergies, asthma and eczema with a focus on topical steroid withdrawal. You can buy my books, which are brilliant by the way! The first is Anaphylaxis: The essential guide and the second, The Shape of Skin, healing poems for eczema and sensitive skin. The reviews speak for themselves. If you want to chat you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (links below). Do get in touch. And please comment on blogs, it makes a humble blogger do a little happy dance!
