It started when I was twelve.
I was running around barefoot on a cold night, and my feet suddenly swelled up and started itching. I would go snowboarding, and it would leave red, itchy, hives all over my body including my face! Holding anything cold would make my fingers swell up huge and itch. Eating ice cream would make my mouth itch, throat swell, cause me to cough, and sometimes my lips would swell.
Well we went to the doctor about it and he told me that I was probably allergic to the cold.
So growing up when I would tell people that I'm allergic to the cold, no one would ever believe me!
Well here is now the proof:

It was terrible when I was little, but all that happens now is that my throat will swell up still, I will cough when I eat something cold, and sometimes my hands will itch!
Ha ha this is amazing!!! Dana I just miss you and it is so true everyone always gave you a hard time about being allergic to the cold!
