The latest twist in my allergy saga occured last night. Ate dinner, which included some McCain Chips and chicken with Cajun seasoning on top (& veggies). Within about 20 mins, I felt a definite lump build in my throat, and it progressively got worse but not to a point where I had any trouble breathing. We drove to Box Hill Hospital and checked into the emergency waiting room, where we waited for about 3 - 3.5 hours until almost 1am. They gave me an antihystamine (same as I already have but didn't have any with me), and over that time it went down a lot, after which I felt confident enough to go home and get some sleep (was exhausted).
This morning I still have a slight feeling of this in my throat but it's not bad. If it gets bad, then I'll call an ambulance. I took the day off work. But I'm trying to manage it now. Though the hard thing is knowing what I'm allergic to. It's not very fun. I really want to get an allergy test done. Yesterday I saw the doc and they made some calls and said I could go to get it done in Footscray next week, or Malvern the week after. So I chose Malvern like a bit of an idiot, as now I want to get it done ASAP.
hahaha. A Telstra guy just rocked up to my house. I said it was fixed and he was happy. Seemed like a real nice bloke too. I told my ISP to cancel it and confirm it, and they confirmed it twice.
