Is Now A Member Of The Epi Pen Crew

Whilst at bibic yesterday I noticed that my arms were starting to blister and get super busy. I tried getting hold if the GP thinking lets be good and get it sorted before anything major happends, when low and behold...sorry we have no appointments.

Thinking sod it see how it goes and ring up for an appointment in the morning if its still there or got worse.

By about 2130 my face was starting to become itchy and burning so I though go do evening meds and settle down for the night.

Maybe I should stop thinking so optimistically as in the time of me doing my meds, my face was starting to balloon.

Off to minor injuries I go, to be told Im not critical and wait for the out of hours GP who will rock up about 2330. By which point my tongue and lips was starting to balloon even more. The GP then jabbed my ass with lots of drugs and also gave me 50mg of pred...yuk

For some stupid reason though, things decided to get worse and I was put into an ambulance and off to the local hossie for me being jabbed with adrenaling and nebulsied along the way. Joyful!

Oh and did I forget to mention, a night in hossie!!

Well good job I was admitted as by the time all the drugs had started fading out, I was going into another full blown anaphylaxis and boy ive never seen a doctor act so quickly in all me life. Being jabbed left right and cetre again and more nebulisers, an hour and a half later things finally started to settle.

To which the doc said "can I be honest with you" - yeah course..."I was generally scared with how quickly that reaction took place despite all the other meds you had had and he wasnt sure what to do next if things wasnt to settle". Me-well I didnt notice you was scared so fair play to you and you did and amazing job.

He sat with me nearly the whole time of me being poorly and then kept checking up on me.

He was mega excited and started calling everyone possible to look at my tongue at how un fat it now was.

After he handed over to the day staff I thanked him again and he ended his shifter mega happy...

...and I ended my day a newly qualified member of the epi pen crew!!
