i dont remember being allergic to anything
yesterday night i couldnt fall asleep. i was restless and itchy everywhere, and in the middle of the night i realized i had red bumps on my skin.
this morning, on my way to school CERTAIN parts of my hands were swelling up. the tip of my middle finger on left hand as well as bone near wrist and tip of thumbg and pinky finger, and on my other hand the bottoms of my knuckes, etc.
then later today, i realized i was getting LOTS more bumps everywhere and it is really itchy, even on my head (Scalp) and i sneeze too. and my tummy isnt feeling too well either the whole day i felt like iwanted to barf.
i dont know what's going on, but i searched the net and found out about this weird thing called anaphylaxis, but i dont know for sure although i do have al the symptoms.
i live in canada, and it is 1:30 AM. i usually HATE going to do the doctors, and try to get better at home.
i dont

Sweet thing. If you are going into allergic shock. Your Mom will find you dead in the morning.
Wake her up. You need some antihistamine immediately. See if you can find some benedryl in the house. Something labels for hay fever. That might help some.
GET YOUR MOTHER UP NOW.

OK, first thing: GO TO THE DOCTORS!!! (There is nothing wrong with Canadian doctors *I live in Canada too*)
Second thing: If it was a deadly allergic reaction, you would be dead by now. How do I know? I used to be highly allergic to a lot of stuff. Deadly allergic reactions swell up your throat so you can't breathe and you choke.
But still, go to a doctors dude, it sounds serious.

Well, you can try just taking a dose of benedryl but I'd go to the doctor for this one if I was you.
