after we got back from our bbq with my friends and family. I crawled into bed when I got stung by a red wasp. I am deathly allergic to them. we keep benadryl in the house the liquid for our 15 year old daughter she cant swallow pills and the pills for me. i was about to reach for the pills when my instinct said no grab the liquid now and take it. I did. well my wasp sting when I went to the doctor yesterday was one of the worst they ever seen so much so I was one of the first ones to be seen two nurses and a doctor came out to look at it. the vemon was so bad my leg from where I was stung was turning blue. they thought I might have had to go to the hospital or I might have died from the sting. I told the doctor what I did the split second I was stung I took the liquid benadryl . he said because you did that is what saved your life. I didn't go into anaphalsis as a result nor did I need a hosptial. I got s steriod shot and have two take two different histamine blockers benadryl and pepcid ( yes the reflux medicine) it contains a histamine blocker. they have an H1 blocker and an H2 blocker due to the severity I have to take both every 6 hours. this is the second time the first instance was a deadly allergy to nutra sweet my husband and I at that time were not even 3 months married. on that I did go into anaphylsis three times and in and out of consciousness. I was very pale white, my oxygen was low, I was very weak for several months that my husband had to carry me to church and back home. He pumped me full of benadryl then also. both times my husband and daughter came close to losing me. no I'm not over dramatic the doctor literally said I could have died due to the severity my husband could have been a widower that is how bad. God told me to take the liquid benadryl both times that saved my life. I am carrying both histamine blockers at all times.
