So I just came across this article on KSL.com, our local Utah news station. It's about a woman who is allergic to the cold. Sounds familiar! My wonderful husband is allergic to cold too. Crazy! Most of my loyal blog readers know about this already. It's such a bizarre thing. For Darrell it's not always the cold that he is allergic to, but also being wet and then drying in cooler air. For example like the time he was life flighted after being in the lake. His lungs were expanding and he couldn't breathe. Usually if he can remain dry the hives don't come as quickly. When he snowboards the biggest challenge is staying dry not necessarily staying warm. Anyway enjoy the article about weirdos! LOL!

Okay, so I totally thought that this was a title that you were making up to make your blog sound whitty... I was like, I'm "allergic" to the cold too! :) But how scary that that's really the case for your hubby!!! Keep him warm this winter! :) And I totally don't blame you about the job thing! Sounds like your boss was totally trying to take advantage of you! She messed with the wrong person, huh?! :)
Here is a link to more information about the genetics of Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome that was prepared by our genetic counselor and which has links to some useful resource for those dealing with this condition: http://www.accessdna.com/condition/Familial_Cold_Autoinflammatory_Syndrome/719. There is also a number listed for anyone who wants to speak to a genetic counselor by phone. I hope it helps. Thanks, AccessDNA
