My name is Mariaelena Berges and I had Stevens Johnson Syndrome. I was really sick when I had Steven Johnson Syndrome. How I had Stevens Johnson syndrome is that I had an ear infection and I took a medicine that I was allergic to but no one knew I was allergic to that medicine. So when I went to the doctors office and when my mom told the doctor about my ear infection they told me that I had to take the medicine again and I shouted don’t give me the medicine but while I was shouting the doctor put the medicine in my mouth and I got more sicker and my color started getting red and hard and by that moment my skin fell of and my mom called the ambulance and by the time I got in the ambulance truck I was out and I burned my eye I was really scared because I thought I was going to die. My mom was really scared. I arrived at the hospital all the nurses were really nice to me. My doctor said that in 30 days I would go home. On the 30th day I was happy because I would get to see my family but when I got there I hugged everybody , but when I was going to hug my cousin Ashley she ran away from me and when she ran away from me I felt like a Monster but now I am better and she likes me and I am happy.
