Reply #24: Me, almost from aspirin [View All]

[Mz Pip]

Woke up one night about 4am because of a noise. Had a bit of a headache and took two aspirin. Within 20 minutes my palms started itching, I broke out in horrible itchy hives. My face, lips and tongue swelled up. I stood up to get my shoes on so hubby could take me to the doctor and I got intense naussea, dizziness and abdominal cramping. My blood pressure dropped and I collapsed. Hubby called 911 and I was taken to the hospital.

Now I go everywhere with a bottle of benedryl and an epi-pen.

So no more NSAIDs for me ever.

Had another allergic reaction a couple of days ago to who knows what. Took the benedryl and it worked.
