Idiopathic Anaphlaxis Posted: 10-29-04 12:28pm
My wife has recently developed
anaphylactic shock reaction. She has had
four severe reactions in the past 3 month.
She requires an epi pen injection and
hospitalization with each attack. She
has been tested for allergies with none
evident. Doctors have done all of the
tests which come back ok. The doctors
are baffled. Her blood pressure and
heart are only slightly elevated during
the attacks but she drifts in and out of
consciousness. She says that she can
hear people talking to her during the time
she is unconsciousness but has difficulty
responding. She is now booked to see an
internal specialist. What is idiopathic
anaphlaxis? With thanks bob

I Suffer to Posted: 01-07-05 12:40pm
I am also suffer from idiopathic
anaphlaxis which basically is a severe
allergic reation that has no know cause.
Sometimes, mine happen while I am sleeping
and have not had any contact with
anything. I was good for 2 years while
avoiding aspirin and all aspirin related
products. I then had a reaction to a non
aspirin generic pill and went into severe
reaction. I have been poked and prodded
and I am curious how it went with the
internal specialist. What type of test
did they do? My last reaction was not
related to any pills, just happened in the
dead of the night and I need any advice
that anyone has.
Thanks

Haven't seen an internalist yet. Went to
see a respiratory specialist and
everything was normal. There are two
more tests he is doing but will not have
the results for three month. My wife
also stopped taking asprin and fosimax and
has not had an attack in the last two
month.
