Did you take an antihistamine beforehand?

And yes, I've had anaphalaxis before and it's no fun...

I take the antihistamine on regular base.. at nights...
she told me next time to take it before the shots.. 'bout a hour or so...
after i take it in the morning can I take it again before i go to sleep??
what about you?

Sorry to hear about your reaction today. Sounds pretty scary.

Just switch it to the morning...if it's a once a day med, it doesn't matter when you take it. If it's a twice a day, then yes, take one in the AM and one in the evening.
