[split] I Think I May Have Come Close to Dying Friday Night

[brewer]

m.h. brewer, there are several inject-able antihistamines. Therefore, there are alternatives to Benadryl. I can't imagine she'd need an inject-able alternative anyway, given that this was for a migraine and she had some kind of adverse reaction. Therefore, she probs doesn't want to take antihistamines for migraines, particularly given that there are many other options for that as well. She'd just need an alternative for in case she has mild allergic reactions, for which there are many options, which was the absolute only point I was making. Well, that and that epinephrine isn't for allergies, but for shock.

How many in several? I know but don't think that you do. If epinephrine is not for allergies why do you have an epinephrine pen?

How do you know what potential illness she may contract in the future where she may need an injectable antihistamine? There are more uses than just allergic reactions. 

Anaphylaxis =/= shock. Shock is just one of several symptoms of anaphylasis that needs to be treated. 

Rhonda had an adverse reaction to Benadryl and allergy was a guess. An allergic reaction has yet to be verified. Being the most popular injectable antihistamine (therefore most stocked and readily available for use - not all treatment facilities/ambulances stock all injectable antihistamines), my position is that the allergy is verified instead of eliminating it based one a reaction to one dose.
