Has anyone experienced similar?
I am 37 and no previously known allergies to anything. Have eaten nuts my whole life no problems.
2 weeks ago I ate a peanut protein bar and quite quickly after experienced an anaphylactic reaction.
it started with a slight cough, then my lips turned white and stingy. One side of my throat started to swell and my arm became itchy. I thought I was going to die.. but luckily only one side of my throat started to swell so breathing was fine. It just hit a Level and then stopped.
i am awaiting a blood test and allergy testing and in the meantime have been given EpiPens.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? It seems strange to suddenly have a reaction like that? Also the obvious thing to think is that it was the peanuts, I suppose it could have been something else..but why after 37 years?
TIA
