[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that hard to get an epi pen. I have severe allergic reactions that I have been able to halt with a double dose of benedryl thus far, and we have not been able to pinpoint the exact cause. The doctor has never seen the reaction, I didn't test high enough that I should be anaphylactic to anything, but I was given an epi pen rx, "just in case." [/quote] what are your symptoms? [/quote] in this order... My ears clog completely My tongue gets itchy/tingly My throat starts itching My sinuses fill suddenly I start wheezing and coughing It hasn't gotten past that point. I take benedryl as soon as my ears clog and it usually starts slowing down before the wheezing and coughing. [/quote I would argue that this is anaphylaxis alright; you've just been lucky that the reaction stops on its own. [/quote]
