This is very interesting and potentially helpful article in many directions:  dealing with own allergist/physician, reaction recognition (or NOT), definitions (and lack of consensus/standards), unpredictability of reactions, and so on.

Really worth the read.

If anyone can recall older FAS thread (either here or at older boards) where this article has had some discussion already, please feel free to post the link into this thread.  We can merge if needed . . .

Glad our tweets are useful! 

Dr. Ellis is very active on twitter. I replied to her asking her about published Papers about protracted anaphylaxis, too, and she replied with three links--for a different thread.

    This makes me so happy.

Well.  Biphasic anaphylaxis does NOT make me happy.  To be clear.

No-- I mean the info and response from Twitter.

Mac -- those 3 links I posted above may be the same you are referencing?

[Macabre]

Yes they are. I had asked her about protracted ananphylaxis.  We used to have threads, and I've referred to what I've experienced of several days of symptoms after anaphylaxis, but after reading one of the links, I don't think that's an accurate term for what I experienced. 

I was hoping to create a new protracted ana thread.
