My eyes and face are swollen, the inside of my throat is blistered and raw, and my lungs sound like Darth Vader when I breathe. But I’m alive.

I really hate #AlphaGalSyndrome #AGS … someone in the neighborhood has a meat smoker and was using it last night. Cue anaphylaxis and misery due to fumes.

Anyone else struggling to survive with #alphagalsyndrome ? I keep hearing that more & more people are getting it. I feel like I'm the only one.
