[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Physical recovery was honestly fine.  I was surprised by how quickly I felt back to normal.  Mentally I was a little out of sorts because I had no idea what caused the reaction.  I was eating and drinking foods I'd had before and nothing was that odd about the ingredients.  So knowing I was allergic to something and not knowing what was a little jarring.

I had two more episodes before we were able to narrow it down.  Even now (a decade later) we still don't know the exact thing that causes it but have narrowed it down enough so that I can avoid drinks that would have it in it and haven't had an anaphylactic reaction in years. 
Last year I did drink something that I didn't think would cause a reaction, but after a couple sips I noticed I was reacting.  Benadryl took care of it without needing to use my epi pen.

No doctor recommendation.  Didn't live in the area when this all started.  [/quote]

Can you do that? I thought you always needed an epi pen AND benadryl not just one without the other.[/quote]
