So, before this story starts, I will just say, I have anaphylaxis, which basically means, if I get stung by a bee, I have an extreme allergic reaction to it.
So, this morning, at around 8:00 am, I woke up, and was asked to walk the dog down to the park, so, it is only about 300 feet from my house, so I could walk there and back in a few minutes. So, I left the house with the dog and walked down to the park. Now, I live in Nevada, so it is really warm here in the Spring, so flowers were starting to bloom. This means bees were around too. So, the dog does it's thing, and I start to walk through the grass back to the sidewalk, and a feel a tickle on the side of my neck, like something is crawling on it. And, without better judgement, I try to push it off, so, it stings me. It took me a second to realize what had just happened, and I said to myself "Oh f**k". Almost like me saying that was a command, I felt my throat starting to swell. Now, for a second, lets go back to just before I left the house. I was leaving, and I forgot to grab my Epipens off the kitchen counter, right before I closed the front door, my mom called to me and told me I forgot them. Right, lets get back to where we were. So my throat was swelling, and I was panicking, so I sat down in the grass, calmed myself for a second, and jabbed myself with the Epipen.
So, I was really lucky today, my mom might as well have saved my life, since I was the only one at the park at that time of the day. When I felt the swelling start to go down, I called 911, and then I called my mom, the people in the ambulance checked me out, and let me go without having to go to the hospital.
Has anyone else had a relate able experience?
Also, I take online classes, so, that is why I was able to leave the house at 8:00.
