EDIT: Benadryl knocked me the heck out. Around 3pm, Little Sister picked up her children and came in complaining of itching. I suggested she take a benadryl and didn't think anything of it. Ten or fifteen minutes later I noticed my breathing was beginning to be laboured and my throat was closing. I immediately took 2 benadyls and uncapped my Epi-Pen in case I needed to use it. I also began itching in my "hive lines" or areas I commonly get hives when I have an allergic reaction.
I took several puffs from an albuterol inhaler and noticed my breathing eased some, but I continued to cough and itch. Eventually I recapped my Epi-Pen and crawled into bed to take a nap. After the itching and wheezing subsided I was suddenly exhausted.
I was sitting at my desk and hadn't eaten or touched anything in common with my sister, in fact, we don't have the same allergies and while she had a small, itchy rash, she didn't have as severe reaction as I did.
I don't know if it was something she brought in with her, after she picked up the kids, or if this allergic reaction was in line with some of my suspicions involving my monthly cycle and hormones.
I plan on taking these notes into my Dr in Sept or Oct. I need a few more months of observations before I can really draw any conclusions from these incidents.
