Hi listmates,

Two weeks ago, I took one regular Aspirin because I had painfull period.

Five minutes after, I sneezed for about two minutes non-stop.  Shortly
after, my eyes were burning and within another five minutes I felt as if I
had a sudden bronchitis.  I started to feel as if I could faint.

I am very lucky because I work in an hospital and I was at work when this
happened. I rushed to the emergency room and was diagnosed and treated
immediatly for bronchospasm, angioderm and urticaria.

I was told by the doctor that since my reaction occured so fast after the
ingestion, I was lucky to be in an hospital at the moment, because it could
have been fatal.

I wonder now, what next?

I used to take Aspirin with no problem, so I worry now that I could develop
deadly allergy to other stuff.

For those of you with deadly allergy, how do you deal with the stress of it.
I now carry my Epipen with me everywhere and I feel anxious whenever I
sneeze, cough, or my eyes are itchy.

The funny thing about this all, is that since I went GF, I strongly felt my
seasonal and food allergy were much better and I am still convinced this is
true.

All your comments are welcome and I will summarize.

Thanks in advance.
