Wow, Kirsten ... what a scarey thing to go through! I am so glad you got to the hospital! Do you know what caused your allergic reaction? I sure hope so ... so you can avoid it in the future! I have had several allergic reactions myself ... mostly with severe itching and hives, and that was bad enough. Luckily I always keep a bottle of Benadryl on hand for those times. Of course epinephrine is the best tool for severe allergic reactions.

Here is a great article explainin anaphylactic shock and its causes and a new emergency treatment .... might be a good idea to keep one of the epipens on hand! http://www.allergic-reactions.com/home/causes_main.html

Take Care and Get feeling better soon!
