End the Anaphylaxis episode- The Meds

I use zophran when my anaphylaxis starts.  The zophran is great for taking down that awful stomach pain. Then I take my benedryl, with my allergy meds 6 Atarax and then the epi to rush the meds into my system faster. The benedryl takes down the itching a lot because I take a triple dose. That is 75mg.  The allergist said start all the meds when the flushing starts. I do that and then I have a couple prednisone on hand to keep it all from returning.  This has been working so well that I did not even go to the hospital this time. But with a child I would always go to emergency just to be sure.

Still going on

On March 15 I had another full episode and a few close calls. Today I had another huge episode.  Taking all my meds when I feel it coming on is the key for avoiding a trip to the hospital.  I keep hoping it will go away but it still keeps trying to take me down. Thank you mom for being with me through this. You saved me again today. Love you.
