Anaphylaxis – The Essential Guide.

An action plan for living with life threatening allergies.

The No. 1 Anaphylaxis Book on Amazon

Buy now – £9.99

Living with one or multiple life threatening allergies or caring for someone who has them can be terrifying, relentless and exhausting.

Anaphylaxis - the essential guide
Available on Amazon

Every aspect of life seems to be driven and controlled by you or your child’s allergies.

‘Anaphylaxis – The essential guide’ was written to help you understand fully what and why allergies occur and give you all the tools and techniques you need to live a full life, despite these challenges and limitations.

The psychological impact, the fear of an anaphylactic reaction and the very real trauma and memories of past experiences can cause long lasting and difficult mental health issues. I’ve struggled with panic attacks, anxiety and depression about my own reactions and I wanted to share the experiences and steps I took to wrestle back control over my life.

It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve learnt so much about how to advocate for myself and others, in all areas of my life and I hope this book will help many to live a full life an take back some of that control. Don’t be ashamed of your allergies – Own them!

ONLY AVAILABLE TO UK RESIDENTS.

I am so sorry about this, but having explored postage, at the moment it’s too costly for me to send to Europe, USA, Canada, Africa or Asia. I hope to be able to offer this but at the moment I can’t afford to fund it.

If you are based in the UK, you can buy a signed copy from me via Paypal. Email me on (ruth at whatallergy dot com), using your Paypal email address. I will then send you an invoice to pay.

Make sure you send me your postal address and any dedication you’d like in the book and I’ll send you your own personalised, signed copy as soon as payment has been received. Postage is included in this price. A great Christmas present idea.

5 star reviews – readers love it

I hope you enjoy reading it and find it useful. To read all the 5 star reviews visit Amazon and if you find my book helpful, please add your own review, it’ll help me sell more books and help more people find it too.

I also have an author page on Goodreads so if you use this website please also consider reviewing on there too. Just a few lines about how it helped you.

Please let me know what you thought on Instagram, my social media channel of choice @whatallergy

Share your book selfies too, I want to see my book babies going out into the world and am planning to create a book selfie collage.

Every review means so much. It helps others find the book, it helps rankings on Amazon and will mean I get a little income to help me keep writing and blogging. I’ve not earned any money from the book yet, this is not a moan or a plea, it’s just the state of authors in the UK. Amazon, the publishers, the editor and everyone else gets a cut before the author sees a penny so all reviews are most helpful.

Thank you so much to Lindi of The Allergy Table for this incredible review:

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!
