UK & OIT

EUGH why is the UK so behind with OIT, every post I read from people in America or anywhere else. Their kid is either doing it from a few months old or is on xolair injections or just getting it done! Already on maintenance at one years old smashing it!

Meanwhile in the UK if you don’t have 10 grand spare OR more, well sorry but you gotta suffer!

I just spoke to a mum from Canada who had OIT for free for multiple allergies for her kid, meanwhile I can’t sleep over the fact I have to find this money if my son wants to have a normal life. I hate this and it isn’t fair, it’s such a burden on my shoulders that I can’t provide that for my son right now. He is 3.

If I knew this was a possibility I would save in advance but I was not prepared for this allergy life 😔 Just a RANT, don’t be mean I feel like shit enough as it is!
