allergic reaction update :)

Thanks for all the love, care and prayers.  We had the appointment with the allergy specialist, and have really good news.  The ER doctor in Owen Sound diagnosed me as “anaphylactic” but we have been educated more from the allergist what exactly “anaphylaxis” is (see link).  I did have a severe allergic reaction that caused many symptoms of anaphylaxis, but the time frame of such an episode happens super fast, within seconds or minutes of exposure to the allergin.  So, I didn’t experience “anaphylaxis” but a really bad reaction.  Good to know, and not a real fun way to be educated, but thankful for it none the less and grateful to be able to see the hand of God in so many ways through this.  I am now able to get back onto my endometrosis prescriptions, slowly back off of Benadryl and Ranitidine and get back to normal hopefully.  I will never know the cause, the allergist explained random hives happen, and to varying degrees, I had an extreme case, will be prepared with drugs on hand if needed, but here’s hoping that’s never again.
