As a symptom of anaphylaxis, shock itself can be life-threatening. I'm not talking anaphylactic shock as a whole, but the symptoms of shock like you may see in other medical emergencies: lethargy, shivering, etc. due to lack of oxygen to body organs. It's not listed on my action plan, but it should be - and will be added.
I didn't realize this yesterday (because I was in shock, plus other symptoms), but the uncontrollable shivering I get during reactions makes total sense now. And that was before epinephrine. More shivering came after, as a result of the epinephrine - which doctors tell me is normal.
So the next time you or someone you know is experiencing shock as a potential allergy symptom, get them Epi and 911 immediately. Not that I need to tell any of you that, but it' a good reminder. I never really thought of shock as a food allergy symptom before, but combined with some milder symptoms, it went downhill fast.
