Anaphylaxis has the potential to hijack your everyday life with fear, anxiety, depression and trust issues, but it is possible to create a positive path forward. It is terrifying, both for those with allergies and their carers. Living with the fear of a serious reaction on a daily basis can seriously affect mental health. Buy this book today to find out how Ruth fought to get the help and support she needed to live with anxiety, panic attacks and stop limiting her life.
In this book Ruth shares her own experiences and provides invaluable advice. Every person's allergic reaction is different, and symptoms vary from difficulty breathing to loss of consciousness. They can also change and become more severe over time. It's understandably hard to live with the unknown and ever-present knowledge that food could kill. Ruth has a lifetime of experience of anaphylaxis. Through research and first-hand experience, she has compiled a self-help guide for people living with the condition, their family and their friends.
In Anaphylaxis: The Essential Guide, you will discover information, help and support to face this frightening condition with confidence. Ruth shows you how to:
- Get a diagnosis swiftly and how to come to terms with it
- Recognise the other factors that can affect the severity of a reaction, including exercise and medication
- Put together an Anaphylaxis Action Plan with day-to-day tips and strategies for staying safe at home and at work, eating out, holidays and dating
- Assess possible treatments, therapies and resources
- Cope with the psychological impact of living with anaphylaxis and severe allergies
- Take action when you're feeling depressed or anxious, or experiencing panic attacks
- Create a positive and resilient mindset, and reframe the condition to feel less excluded and more in control

Ruth takes you by the hand and leads you through the realities of living with life threatening allergies - Emma Amoscato, FreeFrom Farmhouse blog.
Ruth's work comes from a deep need for self-care and self-preservation of her adult body and mind. I think it was the emotional honesty that struck me the most about her book, and this shouldn't come as a surprise to those who follow her on social media. She shares upsetting accounts of her frightening brushes with anaphylaxis, and while the practical anaphylaxis essentials are covered, her book offers an important insight into the psyche of an adult with allergy that for me personally was more important to understand. She talks about the importance of therapy (when appropriate) and of self-compassion. She encourages you to share your mistakes, not hide them - which is wise advice, as this helps others, as well as yourself. She advises on coping with anger, and panic. She encourages creativity, and writing. She urges you to read, to self-educate and more...Alex Gazzola, Food journalist
