catharsis_logsI had something very startling happen tonight. I don't know if it was an allergic reaction or what.
I took a bite of strawberry cheese danish, and I was talking to my dad as I chewed, and suddenly I felt this weird sensation at the top of my mouth, but more in the back. And it started to hurt, like little tendrils, and my face hurt, and my head hurt, enough that I was wincing and couldn't talk very well. Nothing swelled up, my dad had me take an allergy pill and I scrambled to get some water,
as I sipped on the water, it got a little bit better, and I sipped more, and coughed, and sipped and I felt something at the top of my mouth slip away.
I feel almost like what I had eaten had actually somehow gotten stuck at the entrance to my sinuses
Or like a layer of frosting had gotten stuck on my soft pallette
I described it a little bit to my dad as a reverse brain freeze. Instead of feeling cold, it was tingly, and burnt. Like brain acid reflux.
It was strange enough that I really had my dad thinking about calling an ambulance but luckily it didn't last more than a minute or so and my airways were never actually constricted.
I took a picture of the tart, and I took a picture of the ingredients list, and I'm gonna call my doc tomorrow.
On another note, I need to talk to my doctor anyway about moving a specific medication to my allergy list. The pain med my doc prescribed me is one I've taken before (though I didn't remember this at the time, and only found out when I found a reference to it randomly flipping through my journal) and it takes care of the pain, but it also gives me a headache that's worse than the back pain, because at least with the back pain there might be a position i could sit or lie in that might make it better. There is no escaping the headache. I also looked at the prescription information and it says that one of the most worrying side-effects is that particular headache sooooo
