My Anaphylaxis Story

My name is Sarah, and I’m here to tell you about my experience with anaphylaxis. It all started when I was just a little girl, about six or seven years old. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was at a friend’s birthday party, and they had brought in a big cake to celebrate. I had never had a cake before, so I was really excited to try it.

But as soon as I took my first bite, I started to feel strange. My throat started to close up and I couldn’t breathe. My friends were all panicking, and my parents rushed me to the hospital right away.

At the hospital, the doctors ran some tests and concluded that I had anaphylaxis. They told me that I was allergic to something in the cake, and that I needed to be very careful in the future.

From that day on, I was always very aware of what I was eating. I had to be careful to avoid any food that might contain something I’m allergic to. I also had to carry an epinephrine auto-injector with me at all times, just in case I ever had another anaphylactic reaction.

Fortunately, I haven’t had any other severe reactions since then. But I still have to be very careful and make sure I’m aware of what I’m eating. I also make sure to keep my epinephrine auto-injector with me at all times, just in case.

Anaphylaxis is a serious condition, and it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms. If you ever experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention right away.

My anaphylaxis story has been a long journey, but I’m thankful that I’m still here to tell it. I’m also thankful for the doctors and nurses who have helped me along the way. I’m still very careful about what I eat, and I’m always prepared with my epinephrine auto-injector in case I ever need it.

My name is Sarah, and this is my anaphylaxis story.
