NASK Advocacy & Parliament Hill Meeting - Motion 546

SPECIAL MEETING OF MPs CALLED TO DISCUSS ANAPHYLAXIS

Individuals from across Canada have been connecting with their MPs - and this work is paying off.

Your stories have provided MPs and Ministers with direct insight into the realities and challenges of living with anaphylaxis - whether it's related to food labelling, flying, or the work you undertake to educate your community.

Our combined efforts have resulted in MPs calling a meeting to discuss what the federal government may do to better respond to the growing number of Canadians with anaphylaxis.

In the weeks ahead, we suggest you contact your MP and urge her/him to attend the meeting hosted by MP Dean Allison on December 7.

The Food Allergy Mom's New 'All Nighter'

By
It is now just before midnight on a Saturday night and I am wide awake. I'd like to say that I'm channeling my more lighthearted side before children and partying the night away. But I'm not. No. Instead I am about to embark on another all nighter to monitor my son, Aiden. Tonight he went for a walk with his Nana (grandma) and his sister and no sooner reached the entrance to the park when he mysteriously tossed his cookies. The way you hear Nana describe it, he emptied his insides out to the point where she almost caught the cookie tossing bug. He's six years old so you may be thinking 'So What. Kids barf all the time.' Yep. However, in Aiden's case, throwing up is often the first thing he does when having a reaction to food. Experts tell us that reactions can vary every time and I do believe them. Yet, with Aiden we have seen vomiting almost every single time. He is also one of those few have had biphasic reactions even as late as a day and half later. (

Bluebearaware.com Store is closing

By Anonymous
Store Closing We've heard that before... On December 31, 2018, the storefront for  bluebearaware.com  will be shut down. As the owner of this amazing online retailer, I can assure you that this is a genuine closing. Further, I do not have any intention of selling the business. On the contrary, I plan to keep Blue Bear alive. YES! We'll still be here. Just not selling products for the foreseeable future. What can you expect to see in the future? I love bringing smiles to people's faces. I love knowing that I have made someone feel important. To let them know that I see them and they matter. I have a big a-s, bleeding heart. I know it. I own it. I want to save the world, one person at a time. I've been a crisis counselor. I've worked with the women's shelter. In our food allergic community, I started as a support group leader. To say that those experiences were rewarding is absolutely an understatement, but my life has changed since then. I have so
