Teenager is allergic to everything imaginable!

Being a teenager is already hard enough, imagine adding a disease to the equation. Brynn Duncan has a condition that makes her allergic to mostly everything. From the time when she was diagnosed, staying at home and using social media as a tool have been a few of the things that have given her comfort.

Can't eat, can't live a normal life

Living with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is not easy. People with this uncommon disease are basically living inside a bubble. Brynn, who loves playing the guitar has found refuge within social media where she interacts with other people who have a chronic illness.

Dinner time is not as exciting as in most homes, the teenager can't eat vegetables, eggs or any type of food as they may be a ticket to the emergency room. Also, enjoying a day outside is not a good idea for Brynn as she is also allergic to pollen and even the sun. 

Despite not being able to go outside and having to eat through a feeding tube, the inspiring teen has decided to help others through her case. Being that this syndrome is not common; her wish is to bring awareness.
