Godmother Knows Best:
A 15-year-old girl develops mouth sores that are so painful, she can barely eat. Her mother takes her to every doctor imaginable, but nobody knows what’s wrong. Ultimately, the answer doesn’t come from an exam room, but from those who love her the most.
The Game:
A man in Australia has no idea what to do when his young son becomes violent and aggressive. It turns out the boy’s blood is dangerously poisoned… and the cause is something nobody expected.

I was also allergic to the nickel in my braces! As soon as this story started I had a feeling. I cannot not use chapstick now because my lips were so terrible.
Systemic nickel allergy syndrome -_- doctors are absolutely clueless. The symptoms vary but all have roots in auto immune inflammation/MCAS. Triggers can be from contact with the metal like gold jewelry or stainless cookware, medical and dental hardware, and even high nickel foods like beans soy nuts and wholegrains. And it's more common than you might think. I've been to so many specialists over the years if just one of them had awareness around SNAS my life would have been quite different.
