SEE Woman who could die if she had rigorous sex

 
hehehehe....A woman has been diagnosed as having a rare form of allergy that makes rigorous sex and physical exercise a no-no for her.
Before her eventual diagnosis, the 34-year-old married woman had always gone into anaphylactic shock each time she had rigorous sex or engaged in exerting rigorous exercise.

Katy VanNostrand had had between 15 and 20 reactions annually over a six-year period.

Doctors say anaphylactic shock can prove fatal.
On each occasion, her husband had to rush her to hospital for epinephrine medication, vitals monitoring and life-saving antihistamine treatment.
But, despite repeated incidents, doctors struggled to find the trigger.
Katy’s first reaction occurred when she was a 22-year-old college student.
“From age 22 until I was about 28, I saw loads of doctors, but no one knew what it was,” Katy, a nurse, said.
For years, the reactions continued and Katy went from doctor to doctor, but they couldn’t find the cause.
The ultra-rare condition means that if Katy eats certain foods, her body goes into shock when mixed with the hormones released when her heartbeat rises.
She has had to cut grapes, cranberries, oats, corn, rice, onion, celery, fennel, nuts and even black pepper from her diet, in a bid to control the reactions — because any physical activity after eating them can leave her seriously unwell.
“Exercise for me can mean anything from going for a brisk walk with my dog, to a long run or even vigorous sex,” she said.
Katy has to carry an Epipen – an emergency injection which controls the symptoms of anaphylactic shock — in case her throat starts to swell and she stops breathing.
Cutting out food and taking medication means that Katy now has a reaction about four to six times a year.
However, she is worried that they are becoming increasingly unpredictable, so her doctor has recommended that she never runs alone.
According to the professional body, Anaphylaxis UK, “Exercise-induced anaphylaxis is an uncommon, potentially-serious condition in which anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) occurs during or after physical activity.
“It is a complex condition that needs an expert diagnosis and clear advice. A specialist will be able to consider what treatment is necessary.”
