Meet Teen Girl Who Is Allergic To Life by FKO1(m): 8:34am On Dec 31, 2013
A teenage girl is a prisoner in her own home because
exposure to the outside world causes her skin to erupt
into
blisters and rash.
Brianie Copeland, 17, is effectively allergic to life and
spends her days swathed in bandages because she
suffers
from painful eczema, dermatitis, arthritis and asthma .
Her multiple allergies are made worse by coming into
contact with items that most of us handle each day,
including cleaning products, strong light and even heat
from the radiator.
Brianie, from Durham, said: "I have to apply cream
two or
three times a day and I wear bandages every night to
keep the cream on my skin.
"I also have to have a bath at least twice a day. If I
don't
my skin cracks and dries out. It is really painful."
Eating is also a minefield and she has to follow a
severely limited diet in order to avoid dangerous
reactions.
She has to avoid certain foods such as diary products,
wheat, soya, nuts and oats.
Brianie said: "If I eat them my throat starts to swell
up
and close. I also take 10 tablets a day."
Her allergies mean she is unable to lead a normal life
and will never be able to wear make-up or get a
tattoo or
piercing.
She explained: "The nutrients from my skin are gone
and
my immune system is broken, so while other people's
bodies
fight off colds in a couple of days, mine takes a
couple of
weeks.
"My brothers and sisters all help me. If we go out for
a
meal they always enquire about the ingredients and we
avoid going anywhere where there is pollen.
"They often say they wish they could be in my shoes
for a
day so they can understand what it was like."
But Brianie, who left school with excellent GCSEs and
is
now studying childcare at New College Durham,
doesn't let
her condition get her down.
She said: "I grew up wearing bandages constantly so
I
don't know any different. People say to me if there
was a
cure would I take it but I don't think I would.
"Although it is hard sometimes, I like being different to
everyone else. I wouldn't have it any other way."
