In 2019, at the age of 13, Abigail Beck first experienced these strange symptoms. Last month she was diagnosed with aquagenic urticarial disease. Bathing is like pouring acid on her and burning her. Now Abigail bathes only once every two days. She has been drinking even a glass of water for over a year. Abigail says she feels like vomiting when she drinks water.
Abigail likes to drink pomegranate juice or energy drinks because of her low water content. But this does not give her body enough water. So rely on rehydration pills prescribed by doctors.
Although Abigail has been in pain since 2019, she was reluctant to see doctors for fear of being branded as insane. “It took a long time to diagnose. By then, Roe’s condition had worsened, “said Abigail. Initially, Abigail thought that water in her home was the cause of her allergies. At one point she even thought she was allergic to a lotion. But it was only when the condition worsened that it was realized that it was a rare disease.
Now, even simple activities like bathing or exercising have become unbearable for Abigail. ” Even my own tears cause allergies. Then my face turns red and burns ”, said Abigail. Abigail is now taking steroids and antihistamines to alleviate her problems. The girl also said that drinking water can cause severe chest pain.
Abigail says she does not know what to say to her audience when it comes to her condition but she has no difficulty in dealing with questions related to it.
