Anaphylaxis and Short Term Memory Loss

https://foodallergyfroggie.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/consequences-of-anaphylaxis-memory-and-processing-issues/

I found this link to shed light on my Anaphylaxis and Short Term Memory issues. I realize now that some of my confusion and total lack of short term memory is related to loss of oxygen to my brain when my blood pressure dropped an I was unconscious so many times during the 31 episodes of Anaphylaxis. I guess other people have noticed at this point. At work it is really obvious because I have to keep asking for people to repeat their requests if it more than one.  My concentration is way down and I know I have lost some of my brain power.  If you have had this experience please comment here.

Anaphylaxis-Again and Again

I had an Anaphylaxis on November 11.  It was fast moving and I was on the floor with lowered blood pressure and excruciating pain in the first 5 minutes. 
Another one happened yesterday: Dec. 2nd.  Slower moving--It started at 2pm while at work.  I was able to administer my Epi-pen and get all the meds started so as not to get to the point of being on the floor unable to move.  I am back at work today.  Phewwww, feeling better today.
