Thank you Dr Cabrera, your presentation was very educative like Dr. Sadia, I am a anaphylaxis survivor I am not a doctor , i was just looking for more information about anaphylaxis , and I came across your video I have had reactions from cats, hay, bee stings, peanuts, and now my favorite food, shrimp, but you were absolutely right , it took 5 harrowing experiences, one worse than the one before until I got prescribed my epi pen I can thank you enough
RN and my first sting was while at work. I iced the sting area and took 50 mg PO banadryl asap. I experienced an internal warm feeling much like IVP contrast die administration internal warmth. I became flushed- bright red like I had an instant sun burn on my face chest and back. I could feel my hear pounding inside my head and extremities. Head pounding like a hard physical workout. My HR 140 - 160 BPM. My BP went up instead of down. I went unconscious. I have tried immunotherapy and rebounded several times early into the treatment. It took over four rounds of epinephrine. I was stung again twice at one time and I continued to rebound numerous times. I have vocal cord damage now and I am treated as if I have a mast cell disorder. I pray that I can be seen at mayo clinic one day. I would have never survived if I were not a nurse. Few doctors know anything about how to keep me alive with the next sting.
My BP went up, too. We're waiting for lab work to confirm alpha-gal allergy. I'm amazed by how shitty I still feel a week after anaphylaxis. Weak, wobbly, migraines, bloating, exhausted, "reacting" to every little who-knows-what. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised - it tried to kill me from the inside out. That's not something one bounces back from.
