This isnt so much an ask as a wordvomit but do you have any more thoughts on Baby Shane fused with Shallergies?? Just little five year old Shane so so small in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask because some dipshit great aunt gave him peanut brittle. Old home video of toddler Shane’s hospital room because that’s where they’re stuck watching the metros win the Cup and that little boy is already the worlds hockey fan. David just wanted to film his son’s reaction and it doesn’t kill him at ALL that he’s waving around tiny arms that are trailing IV lines. It’s the last time the metros win in until Shane does and he maintains for years it’s because he drank a mango coconut smoothie. yes he understands the coconut will kill him now but not the mango!! Maybe it’s the mango that’s magic. Maybe if he eats another mango the metros will win the Stanley cup this year.

"A clinical trial studying severe allergic reactions in the U.K. is being called “life-transforming.”
Five United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) hospitals are participating in the £2.5 million ($3.2 million) trial to help patients live with their food allergies.
The study is being funded by the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Sky News reported. The foundation was formed in the memory of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who died in 2016 after eating a baguette that had sesame in it...
The trial is studying clinical oral immunotherapy treatments in which patients are given small doses of the food to which they are allergic to build up their tolerance. The food is given under medical supervision by trained staff, The Telegraph reported.
The study has 139 people participating who have allergies to peanuts or cow’s milk. They range in age from 2 to 23 years old, the BBC reported.
The Food Standards Agency said 2 million people in the U.K. have a diagnosed food allergy. In the U.S., about 5.5. million children have a food allergy, the National Institutes of Health reported.
One 11-year-old who was diagnosed with a severe peanut allergy when he was an infant can now eat six peanuts.
A 5-year-old with a milk allergy can drink 120 ml of milk every day and can enjoy a daily hot chocolate, the BBC reported.
“To have a patient who has had anaphylaxis [Note: Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction so severe that it's potentially fatal without immediate treatment. It is very common with peanut allergies in particular. x] to 4mls of milk to then tolerate 90mls within six to eight months is nothing less than a miracle,” Sibel Donmez-Ajtai, a pediatric allergy consultant and principal investigator at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, said, according to Sky News.
The final results of the study are expected to be released in 2027.
Similar studies have been conducted in the U.S. To find one, visit FoodAllergy.org.
Earlier this year, the NIH released the findings of a study of an antibody treatment that would help children consume allergy triggers safely."
If you feel like talking about it — what’s the *aftermath* of anaphylaxis like? I know that an epipen is just step one, and further treatment and observation follows at a hospital, but I’m curious about what the subjective experience is like in the longer term; whether one can bounce back fairly well or whether there’s lingering unpleasantness.
So with the caveat that everyone experiences things differently (and putting this under a cut because I don't want to trigger anyone):
After epi is administered, you're usually put on a cocktail of drugs ranging from several different IV antihistamines (typically a mix of h1 and h2 histamine blockers and a giant whack of benadryl), anti-nausea meds, a beta-agonist to assist with breathing, and a shit-whack of steroids.
Once you've been stable for a few hours and discharged, you'll be told to watch for symptoms for up to 72 hours, which is the period in which a biphasic reaction can happen. (For me, it's always within 20 minutes to 8 hours after rescue medication is administered if I'm going to slip back into an allergic response, but everyone is different.)
Depending on your symptoms, you'll sometimes be told to take an antihistamine for up to 72 hours (if you're not already taking one daily), but the one thing they always send you home with is a steroid like prednisone. I usually need a 5-7 day dose because I need to taper off it or my adrenals crash, but some people get a 3-day dose and come off it with no problems.
Body-wise, it's a draining experience, and the medications often leave you both tired and wired. It's an odd sensation.
Mentally and emotionally, it takes me a lot longer to recover because I've just been smacked with a proverbial mallet of stress hormones and adrenaline, and that can often lead to depressive moods and even rage for some people. The prednisone also heightens emotions, so it's not unusual to be having some of the wildest mood swings of your life while also processing the stress of what just happened.
It takes me a while to bounce back, typically about a week on full rest, but I know some people who claim to feel fine in a couple of days. Couldn't be me, haha. My body goes into hibernation mode for quite a while, and I'll be lying in bed exhausted and jittering like I've had ten espressos, but I don't know how much of that is general anaphylaxis or how much of that is specific to my mast cell disorder.
So, for me, it's a desperate need to sleep, jitteriness, depression, and rapid mood swings from the prednisone followed by a general feeling of blegh. It also takes me about 72 hours to be able to eat solid foods again because of the effect anaphylaxis has on the digestive tract (the esophagus is lined with histamine receptors; that's why some heartburn meds are actually antihistamines.), but I suspect that's my MCAS.
As someone with multiple anaphylactic food allergies (the kind that make your throat close off and can very easily be life threatening without an EpiPen), I have headcanons for both Ilya and Shane if they have this type of allergy. Here they are:
Shane: If he notices he is having an allergic reaction, he will quickly inform the nearest the nearest person he trusts (usually either his parent, Hayden, or later Ilya) and then go to the nearest private space to stab himself with his Epi and figure out if an ambulance is necessary (If you do Epi early enough, ambulance is generally not necessary, but you still need to go to the ER). This is what you are supposed to do, and his parents have drilled it into his head since his first allergy test: inform, inject, observe.
I also think that leading up to the reaction, Shane will start to clear his throat a lot and chug water. This is what I do because, as an autistic person, it can be really hard for me to figure out what is happening in my body, and sometimes anxiety in a group setting can feel similar to a reaction, so it can take me a few minutes to figure out which one is going on, and the water will help with anxiety, but not a reaction. Since Ilya is so good at recognising and managing Shane’s anxiety, he is able to spot almost instantly if something is just anxiety or an actual reaction.
Ilya: I think Ilya does what I have done on multiple occasions (A.K.A. The exact opposite of what you should do). Is he notices a reaction coming on, he will politely excuse himself to the bathroom without telling anyone, and then proceed to try to talk his body out of having a reaction. Upon this failing, he will finally relent, stab himself with his Epi, and limp back to the table. He will then try to hide what happened for the rest of the meal, even though the throat swelling and discomfort makes it very hard to talk, and he will, on days when he is feeling particularly masochistic, continue eating and hope that the epinephrine will do its job. Needless to say, this has landed hi in the ER on multiple occasions.
For Ilya’s tells, I think he can figure out what is going on a lot faster than Shane, and the second he realises it he is OUT. So really the only way for people to know what is happening is of they realise that he made a slightly more abrupt exit than usual, which Shane gets very good at recognising.

I cannot stress enough about how people need to get more aware about allergies and other disabilities. (Because, yes, severe allergies do count as disabilities.)
I've seen so many people who don't take allergies seriously. Heard about them.
Lots of allergies are mild, right? But lots can kill people. Cross contamination is death for highly sensitive allergies, and people with anaphylaxis (severe, life-threatening allergic reactions.)
And you want to know how they can happen? In some cases, allergies are so severe that even breathing in your allergen or touching it can send you into anaphylactic shock. This is something you need to take seriously.
Let's say, you take the bus right after eating a nutty protein bar. You place your hand on the bus rails. You can't see it, but you've just spread microscopic traces of nuts onto that bar– cross-contamination.
Now, if you get off or move and someone comes on with an allergy and touches that spot? They can have a reaction. It can be lethal and kill them.
And cross contamination like this can happen even after not washing dishes properly, not wearing gloves when working at your job, or it could even be that you made brownies for a friendly potluck.
But the thing is, when you were making them, the measuring cup you used for sugar had been used for walnuts and you hadn't washed it.
Those brownies now contain traces of tree nuts, and as much as you tell people; 'This is nut free!' You could kill someone.
Allergies are serious. And this is coming from someone who had an allergic reaction from consuming something that was said to have 'none' of my allergen. You need to take allergies and other disabilities that affect eating and touch, too. Say if someone was Celiac. Cross contamination could seriously sicken them, too.
And it's not even just foods. Makeup, skincare, shampoos, any body products could trigger reactions.
OH i hope the pitt tackles about Anaphylaxis or Anaphylactic Shock
I want to see patient who is rushed to the Pitt after taking NSAIDs like ibuprofen, aspirin, or dexibuprofen for a cold
wanna see Doctor Mel is part of the patient and can’t save a patient, falling in depressing feeling (she will hide crouched down in the corner of yk ER outside where Mel used to call with Becca) but Doctor Langdon supports and comforts her
