I have no suggestions Tammy, just want to say I'm sorry you've had such a

bad experience, glad you're all right, and think testing sounds like a good

idea.

[ ] anaphylatic shock - OT

I've had the strangest night. Ate around 5:30, nothing strange. Took the boys

to visit toy land to get ideas for the holidays and birthdays. Felt great.

Got home about 8:15. Both boys eat a quick snack and off to the shower for

one, the other to bed. I had to hit the rest room and my stomach took a nose

dive, really strange. Then while in the bathroom, both ears had an intense deep

itching both at the same time and then I started sneezing, like 12 times. My

husband asked me if I was ok, very strange for me. All the sudden I couldn't

breath throw my nose and I had problems breathing period. Scared. So came out

and took 4 tsp of Benadryl and took out the epi pens just incase. Then

remembered I had some prednisone so took that, 2 tsp.

Anyway, I'm flushed and rashy looking from the chest on up and can feel

swelling in and around my eyes. I counted 3 hives on my stomach. This is totally

amazing and I have no idea what caused it.

When at toyland, I had to get a b-day card. You wouldn't know they had large

square tubes of every nut and I have my peanut allergy son with me. I told him

to please not touch a thing and hurried up.

Felt fine, sang on the way home. Isn't this just amazing. I'm sitting here

maybe an hour later, tired I'm sure from the Benadryl, but amazed. I've never in

my life had this severe of reaction to anything so life threatening. Honestly,

I'm not sure what it even could have been. The nuts reaction, it was maybe 1/2

hour after being around them and like 3 hours after eating.

Anyone ever have this kind allergic reaction so severe and have no idea? The

only thing different I did was open my sons new toy and he's the peanut severe

food allergy guy, he's fine. I'd almost think to toy was laced with poison but

I'm the only one affected.

Sorry, ot but had to share. I guess it's time for me to try no dairy,

challenge nuts and maybe get some blook word done on food allergies.

I'll sleep with my epi pens tonight just in case.

Sounds scary. Last Feb my stepmother-in-law was out of the country and had a

severe allergic reaction to kiwi fruit (no known prior allergies, had never had

kiwi fruit before) and had to be life flighted back to the states for them to

figure out what was going on. She's ok now but very leery of any food she

doesn't recognize or with too many ingredients.

My thoughts - allergies are seldom apparent on first exposure. It takes

one exposure to set it up, and then another exposure to be apparent.

Maybe it was something in what you ate, that you have just never had the

second exposure to. Maybe an added ingredient in something you normally

purchase?

It sounds pretty scary. I hope you figure it out so that you never have

to go through that again!!

My Dad had something similar late last summer. He was swimming in

his pool (which wasn't heated so was a little cool) and started

feeling itchy...got out..went inside to shower thinking that

something had gotten into the pool that was bothering him...started

feeling short of breath and took some Benadryl. Got into the shower,

felt lightheaded and passed out. Woke up a minute or two later and

felt horrible for quite a while.

After testing with a lot of trial and error...turns out he has

developed a rare allergy to COLD against his skin. He now can't swim

in a cold pool, hold ice cubes, and must be very careful in cold

weather. If you put an ice cube against his skin,he will hive up and

after a few minutes start to wheeze.

I once had a similar reaction with no breathing problems, just hives

to being in a VERY HOT car with no A/C driving across the Mojave

desert in July.

These types of allergic reactions are rare...but your body can

develop an allergy to anything.

What kind of toy did you open?? My allergic son once reacted to

brand new wooden alphabet blocks by getting hives running up both

arms. After the blocks were washed, rinsed and dried in the sun for

a day...he could play with them fine, but they were coated with

something he was allergic to.

Was it fresh or preserved? That's scarey!

I know they keep kiwis in shipping containers for up to a year in carbon

dioxide as a preservative. Can't think of any other reason for such a

reaction.
