Many thanks for the pixie dust...I am home now after seeing the allergist. I have had allergy issues all my life, but have not had a reaction in this bad in over 30 years. The scariest thing is that we have NO idea what caused it. I wondered if it could be as simple as purchasing a different brand of vitamins, but the Dr. today said that I would have reacted within 30 minutes, and this was about 2 1/2 hrs after I had taken them. I didn't eat anything unusual, or more importantly that I'm not supposed to, and I wasn't exposed to any known allergen. The Dr. today said that they can't do any testing for 6 weeks, so it will be a while before I have any answers, if I get any. She also said we may never know. I have to wait due to all the drugs in my system. She said we could get false positives and negatives. She also was not happy with my lung function tests, but that is a whole other issue, so there it is. She gave me the mack daddy of epipens...it's called a twinject, and it has 2 doses of epi in each pen. You give 1, call 911, and then manually push the 2nd. She gave me this one b/c after the antihistimine didn't work, the EMT's gave me 2 epi shots en route to the hospital. You know, it just wasn't the way I had planned to spend my day yesterday! How does the saying go? If you want to make God laugh, tell him what YOU have planned for today???
Anyway, thanks again for prayers and pixie dust!
