Hi there ! Renxkyoko Iglesias here.
Something bad happened to me yesterday ( Feb. 23 ). I had a bad allergy reaction to something I ate that morning (a longanisa/chorizo/sausage ) . At first, I felt itchy all over. I took a shower immediately, ( was going to work, anyway ) then saw my whole body turned red color, then I felt wobbly and dizzy, and worst of all, my eyes’ gone blind, ( all I could see was white light ) . I screamed for Mom, told her I couldn’t see, and couldn’t move. She even had to dress me up, then rushed me to the nearest clinic ( walking distance from our house ) but the staff there said to go to the nearest hospital ER. They didn’t know what was wrong, and told us they couldn’t handle it. They wanted to call 911 but I told Mom to just drive me there , mindful of the fact that a 911 ambulance is expensive. It isn’t free, folks. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the hospital, and by that time, my vision had cleared up, and I could see again. I was still itchy and the red ( from my face down to my toes ) hadn’t disappeared yet. The doctor informed us that the blindness and dizziness were symptoms of a panic attack. They held me there for 6 hours for observation ( to see if reaction would recur ) We were at the hospital from 12:30 to 7:30 PM . I have to see an allergy doctor soon. I need to be tested for other allergy reactions. By the way, when I was 5, the same thing happened to me. ( no blindness, though ) It was during my birthday party and I had eaten too many hotdogs, so I was told.
I was told to avoid eating processed meat products and any food that contains artificial red dye or color, and preservatives like saltpeter ( sodium nitrites ) for the meantime.
This is it for now. By the way, I ‘ve already written 5 posts on my manga/anime blogsite HERE.
