I started a new thread the other day under health. I went to my doctors today who said my symptoms sounded like i had an allergic reaction and to call the docotrs nurse and get an appointment so I did and its in 2 weeks time.
I spoke to her an explained my symptoms and she said i am going into anaphylaxis shock when i eat certain things and she is taking a blood test tomorrow as well as training me on epipens and how to give it to myself.
She said eat plain english food and dont eat anything else as i might be allergic to nuts. (had major reaction after eating take aways )
I have heard that some people should have two epipens.
I dont know when a reaction needs to be refered to A and E.
Any adivce is appreciated.
TIA
