I had injections at 3 pm woke up at 4 pm when 5 pm by 8 pm my face started itching and swelling all over and my neck i called nhs 24 they give appointment next to emergency i waiting 2 hours i could talk and barely walk and partly paralise on left side on body .
I was hospitalised the next days on tuesday they sent me home and told it could happend again i shouldn t worry so went home .
On wednesday i got i wasn t well so i called my gp got a appointment by time i got there anaphylaxis attack. i was injected with adrenaline, piriton and had 60 mg of steroids. i was sent by ambulance in raigmore my docteur told she didn t understand why they send me home . The docteur couldn t figure out what wrong they have no answers. i have numbness on left side of my face arm hurt and leg. they told maybe i had stroke but their not sure since their is no allergy consultant. is nightmare and their even no sure how to treat my probleme now i m slowly recovery and i m in alot of pain. my body has suffer enormous trauma and still numbness in my face on left sometime. my speech back to normal and difficulty concentrating. Left side is still slow . I had mri but waiting result. i hope their will answers and wish nhs would educate their docteur about anaphylaxis attack cause apparently it can last for days. sometime i have slow progresse . I m really disappointed in nhs and send home on thursday night 8 pm only cause their need a bed. I feel that their don t care about patient i think terrible . I annoyed cause no one has answers .
