For the past five years, suddenly I can feel
hives starting, and they become huge welts. My blood pressure drops, my pulse is hardly detectable, my face and lips swell, and once I became unconscious. By the time the ambulance got there, they could barely get a pressure or pulse. They said in a couple minutes, it would have been too late. I carry an epipen, and when I use it, I can get to the hospital before it is too late.
