Saturday Night Fever #54

Hey everyone!  How’s your weekend going?  Mine started out a little scary.  We went and ate pizza and then decided to go for frozen yogurt afterwards.  Well, I’m pretty seriously allergic to peanuts.  My mom gave me a spoon of peanut butter when I was 8 months old and quickly found out when I had a severe anaphylactic reaction.  As I’ve grown older, I can manage it pretty well by taking Benedryl if I accidentally eat some.  I quit carrying a Epi-Pen partly because I am usually cautious and Benedryl works in time.  (Now if I were a child, this would completely call for an Epi-Pen).

Well, I decided to put some crushed cookies on my yogurt.  Apparently a peanut had gotten mixed in because on my 3rd or 4th bite, I immediately tasted it and my mouth started itching severely and my tongue got really thick.  It’s funny how one little peanut can cause such a reaction.  I didn’t have my Benedryl with me (so bad, I know)!   My mom and I loaded up all the kids quickly and I rushed to the pharmacy down the street.  I grabbed a box of Benedryl and took it while waiting in line to pay.   It works pretty darn quickly for me.  Within about 5 minutes, I could feel the symptoms of the reaction begin to subside.  It scared my kids.

Luckily most of the time, I can visit places like that and I’m just fine.  Every now and then, I  get a reminder that I still have this scary allergy.
