♡ I Went into ANAPHYLAXIS In the Shower!!😱😱 (1st-6th.06.19) | Amy's Life ♡

[@franlats0705]

It's not over the top hun, it is a life threatening situation, feel free to rant away it helps get it off your chest and will help you deal with that episode, I am so glad you are feeling a bit better now x

[@sarahnelson4740]

That is so scary Amy. I'm so glad Tom was there. Aren't you afraid of trying anything new? I would be afraid to use anything... :( thinking of you. ❤️

[@sonicksymphony8162]

I think it has to do with her mast cells being random and reacting to things on some days and not others so even if she’s tried it before it can still react

[@imogentrainor521]

I’m allergic to fruit and have an epi pen and I was afraid to eat EVERYTHING 😂

[@jessthehorse2254]

Amy you are not being over dramatic! Having to use an epi pen IS a HUGE deal!!! Like you said, you guys who have to deal with this every day are such an inspiration. Never worry about being over dramatic because you are the LEAST dramatic person I know! Love ya xxx

[@mindofaries]

You're such an inspiration, I find your vids so interesting and eye opening! Glad you're okay, much love! Xxx

[@lizverde4309]

Tom, thank you for helping Amy during this anaphylactic episide. Thumbs up! People say I'm OTT for not showering alone. This video is the exact reason why I don't shower home alone. I could see the county coroner coming out seeing me in all my glory. No thank you. Amy, I too hate that low sugar feeling. It's like you're trying to hear while being under water. Thank your family for all of their support. Don't firget that self-care comes first because water doesn't come from an empty cup.

[@eduardopadilla5505]

Take care of yourself Amy and keep enjoying good times of life to the fullest!! :D

[@jaeologist3361]

I’m so sad she’s passed on she was such a sweet brave gal 🥺🥺

[@dressagebelle]

Not being able to breath is very scary. I have some moderate/severe allergies to a lot of environmental things, but haven't needed anything outside of over the counter oral allergy meds, but about a week ago my throat did start swelling, and every time I got really relaxed while laying down, I'd stop breathing. Went to the doctor the next day and now have an inhaler and an appointment with the allergist to come up with a new plan to control my allergies. I'm glad you are doing better, and it definitely helps watching your vlogs and realizing that I'm not alone with some of my health issues. Also, so excited for you and Tom to be getting your own place!

[@kaylavogele6099]

So excited for you and Tom to finally take the next step to having your own home!! Much love to the both of you and hope that all of your guys’ hard work finally pays off soon ❤️

[@rmjames83]

SO sorry things r really tough+rough-ur a survivor! SO glad ur ok! Ur friend’s an absolute genius! Bringing round comfy clothes+lounging together is the best idea-perfect 2 “still be there” 4 a friend that’s unwell! Hang in there!!

[@jodiehead3518]

Your such an inspiration and so strong 💕I was recently diagnosed with pots and your videos help a lot so thank you 💕💕💕

[@kaylahazzard875]

You look so pretty with your hair down! You’re so strong and brave and definitely super lucky to have someone like Tom to look after you!

[@lisawinters4681]

I so happy that Tom is in the bathroom when you shower. It is always better to be safe the sorry... I thought I was the only young person that watches call the midwife, I love watching it.... Sending you lots of hugs and love from Oregon!!!

[@carollove8752]

I have never met a stronger human being. My God! How do you find the strength to go on??! You’re amazing. I feel so bad when I forget to pray for you. 🙏🏽 I love you. When you miss a vlogs I worry so much. Stay strong my precious baby. Love you always.

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

You definitely need to build your own house, and have a little door into a secret Hufflepuff room... 🤣 ...and you’ll need a garage for your car, a garage for Toms car and a garage for your medical boxes to get stored in :) Exciting times!

I'm so excited about the house for you guys!

[@jannethpatterson1472]

U are so brave hope u feel better soon

[@haleymorrison7639]

i had my first allergic reaction where i had to use my epipen, i felt like i was in a slight state of anaphylaxis for a week or two. it was super scary and i went to the hospital 3 days in a row. it took about 3-5 minutes for my throat to open back up. i threw up and knew it was anaphylaxis right away thankfully

[@tammydavis770]

That sucks. I am so sorry. I have never went into shock but I almost passed out.

[@ebonylowe6171]

You are a very strong young lady!!!!!! I hate feeling ill all the time too. prayers for you always.

[@rwood3204]

Hope you're feeling better now Amy.xx

[@Selove98]

The strangest things go through a persons head when they're experiencing near death. I specifically remember being in an ambulance, dying, and thinking "I'm really about to die because of a fucking pineapple". I was so mad that I was dying because of a fruit that, had I not been actively dying, I probably would have had a rage fit. It was definitely scary, don't get me wrong. I was absolutely terrified. It was just a weird thing that passed through me in the moment... So happy Tom was there to help and I'm happy that you were able to get through it. Bless you

[@Livskittle]

Girl i have been watching you since I was diagnosed with POTS 2 years ago. I’m so happy that you’re about to build your own house ❤️ you seriously deserve all the good things in life Edit: also you should put a page in your journal full of inspirational quotes you can read when you’re down. My friend made a poster for me full of small little quotes and nice things some of my other friends have said about me and gave it to me for Christmas.

[@amyslife4457]

Konk firstly thank you so much for all your support! And secondly the journal page is such a good idea! And I could ask you guys to leave me quotes or messages in the comments and write them in ❤️😅

[@HaLLiEB85]

I keep binge watching call the midwife. I love Phyllis lol she’s so sassy

[@jazzhollis2404]

Thats sooo exciting with the new houseeee

[@shannybridgejeez5816]

I'm hypoglycemic(non diabetic)(also have other illnesses) but gurl I know the feeling of always having low blood sugar all too well, it's not great. There was a time when I fainted in the middle of a busy road while crossing and to this day I don't know how I got to the other side and to a pharmacy, my sugar level was fine and out of nowhere it dropped so quickly I didn't even feel my normal signs and symptoms till it was too late to react, couldn't get to go into my bag to get something quick to bring my levels back up either. I'm just thankful I didn't get hurt that day honestly. I love your videos 💕💕

[@케이트-d4i]

I was just recently diagnosed with gastroparisis. Your videos are very helpful for a newbie like me❤️😂

[@HaLLiEB85]

Kate McDonald definitely join gastroparisis groups on fb , they’re so helpful

[@kimpossible7505]

Welcome to the club that no one wants to join 😂

[@케이트-d4i]

Kim Daniels isn’t that the truth !😂

[@givemealcohol1599]

After an anaphylactic shock my skinn feels completely itchy and everything is swollen i also have brain fog and just want to sleep. I normally also don’t eat anything because most of the time i go into anaphylaxis based on something i have eaten so i kinda don’t trust food enough to eat something.😂😂 It takes about a day and a half until I’m back to normal. Better not think about what all could have happened just be graceful that you survived it and concentrate on something else.💕💕💕 Also never question the epi pen just trust it and don’t panic. Love from Germany 😊😊

[@chronicallynicole8392]

That is so scary! I'm glad your okay, any time I've had an allergic reaction like that is when I've been stung by a bee. When I was a teen I almost died from a bee sting, my family and I didn't know I was severely allergic and we didn't have an epi pen. That wasn't really a thing 20 years ago, so yeah super scary when dealing with an anaphylactic reaction to anything.

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Thank G-d Tom knew what to do! Hope you’re feeling better now xxxxx

[@spookywife7673]

I am so glad you’re okay. I when through anaphylactic shock about a month ago. After the shot I started feeling better but I was exhausted the next day. Tom is your Superman! You two are made for each other. ❤️❤️❤️I am excited for your house. It’s the most exciting and scary experience you will go through. But worth it. ❤️. My husband and I bought first house last year. Well I am rambling so good night!🤭

[@cassandradavis5739]

Thank God Tom was there I'm glad your better and looking forward to the house journey you guys are amazing Hello from Mississippi

[@gabriellesalf]

So glad you’re feeling better and doing okay hun xx but can we acknowledge Tom just demonstrating the epi-pen in his boxers 😂😂

[@dorcat2867]

Thank goodness that you’re ok, Amy. I have a very severe nut allergy and have to carry epi pens with me whenever I go out, I’ve never experienced anaphalixis before as I’m always careful with what I eat but I can’t imagine what you went through, having an allergic reaction has always been my worst fear

[@cathcoll7961]

Just take each day as you can Lovely ❤️❤️ You are so so strong It’s ok to be blah though Love you ❤️❤️

[@hannahfuller9795]

I have severe food allergies and anaphylaxis is so freaking scary. The worst parts for me is the muscle pain after the injection and the stomach pain caused by the reaction. You are not overreacting, it is terrifying. Also, I once took an EpiPen in a therapist parking lot. It can really happen anywhere. I love you, your videos are so inspiring 💕

[@lovinglife4264]

I am so glad you’re ok. Tom is so awesome. I feel like one of you she be receiving extra money from somewhere due to the great care you give yourself. It’s better then having a caregiver. Best wishes 💞💕

I’m in the UK, and I have multiple illnesses (Type one diabetic, POTS, endometriosis, M.E, asthma, PCOS, a whole bunch of other stuff, and I’m also in the process of being tested for EDS) and it just breaks my heart hearing you say about paying for everything you need. Reminds me how grateful I am for the NHS❤️ literally love you though. Also I have the libre, been using them for a couple of years now, they’re really good for tracking blood sugars especially for people who have trouble with food❤️ also did you know you can scan your libre using your phone? I always keep at least three of those glycogen injections about, so important❤️

[@susanadiaz3518]

I found your channel a month ago, have been watching all your videos and I just wanted to say that I think you are a very strong and inspiring person, I'm sending you a big hug and I hope you feel better this days. Keep going 💪🏾❤

Question- do you have to cover sensor with a tegaderm after insertion?

So glad Tom was with you. Stay safe xx

[@twidntrue848]

That does sound very scary, not to be able to breathe! You are so strong. I'm so happy for you and Tom for being able to start the process of building your home. Very exciting! Thank you for sharing about the Freestyle Libre. I've been seeing commercials on t.v. and was wondering about it. I don't know why the idea of having a needle sticking in my arm 24/7 freaks me out so much. I give myself insulin injections daily and prick my fingers. Forgive me, I don't mean to be insensitive - I know you and many people have much more than those little needles to deal with. But right there on your outer arm, does it hurt when it gets bumped?

[@Chelle8847]

Love you Amy. I commented on one of you posts about it, you're so brave! You honestly sound like you're so calm about it! I would be freaking out a lot more than you are! Bless you. Thank God for Tom. Much love to you both, miss your vlogs loads when you don't vlog! But also take time to rest haha

[@libbygibson5612]

So glad that Tom was there for you.

where did you get ur heat pack?

[@_victoriaaa_]

Tom is a saver!!!!! Well done to him and I am glad that you have someone to take care of you in such situations, it’s amazing. He reacted very very very well, from what I heard, not that I am a medical professional.❤️❤️❤️ I would have panicked 🤦🏻‍♀️ Btw YOU ARE NOT DRAMATIC AT ALL

[@JusticeAnimeGeek]

Ah I'm glad that your ok for the most part. My doctor has said that I should go to the hospital after use of my EpiPen, because I would have no idea what to do after that and I get really bad panic attacks when my health is not good (though I've never had to use it so far, fingers crossed that I won't need to). Don't feel like you're making a bit deal out of it because it is a big deal. It is a serious situation and I'm so glad you weren't alone. Take it easy, check in with yourself, and relax as much as you can. Love you dear 😊✌

[@maryharte2551]

Tom is so great and you are too you take it all in your stride good luck with the money for the plot of land and house building ❤️

[@lisaioannou6758]

Low sugars are super scary. I’ve had them where I woke up in the hospital after going to bed not knowing they dropped. Thanks for showing the monitor. It’s just so expensive for me I can’t get it right now. Take care of yourself. Feel better

[@angelaford9663]

Have the ever mentioned doing only half a dose of the glucagon if needed? My son is type 1 and bc hes 6 and only weighs so much they told me to not give him a whole dose but a half I wonder if that would make you not throw up. But still bring you up. I've had to take it before in smaller doses bc my blood sugar just qpuldnt come up. Stubborn low for over an hour and over 80 carbs used. Definitely had a headache after. Not fun!

[@marinayassa3464]

Hey Amy! I also use the Libre, donno if you know but there’s an app now for it which you can use to scan your sensor which is awesome cuz then you don’t have to carry the meter everywhere, it’s pretty great!

Hi Amy you are wonderful Tom is your guardian angle I was wondering what your tattoos mean Stay strong you really are amazing xo

[@kimpossible7505]

We have a supply of Glucagon for my type 1 diabetic daughter. Have you ever done a mini-shot of it? Sometimes if my daughter’s blood sugar drops but it’s not low enough to warrant the full shot, we mix it up, and draw a small amount up in an insulin syringe and give it subcutaneously. For her, we do 5 units but for an adult, it would probably be 10-15 units

[@keiraalouise]

This is my biggest fear whilst I'm in school. I haven't got any medical id's on me so no one knows about my eds pots ect so I'm scared no one would know what to do if something went wrong.

keira's life get a medical ID babe it’s so worth it!!

[@Sammeydalton]

I got one on Amazon for like $20! And I was able to customize it. And they cant make you take off a medical ID. But if you're scared of being told you cant have it, get a necklace or key ring :)

I'd really love some advice on this. I have really really bad allergys to alot of things including UV light, creams, chemicals, plasters, basically sometimes it feels like everything. I've never had anaphylaxis but my allergys are getting worse. New things I'm allergic to, and worse reactions. should I make a special trip to dr to ask for a epi pen? Am I at risk of eventually finding something that will cause anaphylaxis? This is scary for me. is putting it off thinking I'll be fine dangerous for me? If anyone has any info, I'd love your opinions. I will go tomorrow if I'm being stupid.

Does Tom want to train my other half in how to appropriately respond in an emergency....lol? Im in heart failure and on several occasions when Ive been fluid overloaded and literally drowning from the inside (freaky feeling that one, bone dry but still drowning) hubs has wanted to make a coffee before he calls the ambulance, poor bugger, for some reason every time life gets super dramatic its either early morning or late at night. Props to both of you for being so calm and capable at dealing with life's dramas (I hate the whole "I feel like a drama queen" part of having chronic illnesses...even when Im literally dying I still feel so melodramatic). Good luck with the house building adventure. xxx

[@lottiatbeaniecodesigns4681]

I’m so excited for you guys, looking forward to the journey 🥰🥰

[@mustwereallydothis]

I think it's more upsetting for my husband than for me. It's gotten to the point where if he hears me sneeze twice in a row he comes running full speed. My worst reactions usually begin with "shotgun sneezing" where you sneeze again and again with no pause between. Then it leads to laryngospasms, drooling, puking, loss of bladder control, uncontrollable shivering, hives, blistered eyeballs, blisters and swelling in my mouth... It all must look pretty dramatic but I'm usually pretty calm, oddly enough. Despite what it looks and sounds like, I can always get enough air. My main concern is making it to the toilet before wetting my pants.

[@samf2539]

I’ve used 13 epipens! One was just mouth hives so I totally could have waited but after the first epipen experience I was a bit paranoid. Thankfully my MCAS treatment is going well so I haven’t needed one since New Year’s Eve! My throat usually feels sore and swollen for a couple days and my doctor says that’s normal and my stomach is usually more sensitive than normal for a while.

[@staceysteele7128]

That MAST cell disorder sounds more frightening than alot of others; so scary how it just raises its ugly head so quickly!!!Thank goodness Tom was there to jab you!!!! Much love from Canada

[@rebeccarovegno8468]

I’m allergic to the only medication that allows me to live a normal life. I have multiple medical problems as well (fibromyalgia, POTS, Arthritis, BPPV). Because I’m allergic, the first few days I start a new round of meds I have a serious allergic reaction. I have to use my Epi pens twice a day every day for about a week. Then my system adjusts slightly and although I’m itchy the rest goes away. It’s horrible and not fun. But I’d rather be able to live a normal life and take a few jabs in the leg.

Glad Tom was there so he could inject your EpiPen. That would be so scary. Glad you have someone with you all the time. Having your Libre glucose monitor is a great tool for keeping you safe with your blood sugar. Please take care of yourself and I like the sweatshirt Tom had on.

[@freemekawaiipatreon9211]

Girl. That had to be so scary. I am always paranoid of crazy surprise anaphylaxis shock bc I have a 2 year old. And there are things she's not experienced yet that I worry she can become allergic to. I mean adults get anaphylactic shock they don't expect. When I worked in the hospital as a. Phlebotomist, a middle aged woman was coming for something I don't remember well, but she was getting a transfusion that she got time and time again on routine and all of a sudden went into severe anaphylactic shock and went until a coma. It just is terrifying. I'm just glad you're okay and have such wonderful ppl and boyfriend that knows what to do
