Accidentally had a very bad allergic reaction to some unexpected onions. Quick thinking by the wife kept me from dying due to lack of oxygen but I feel like crap.
Still I’m going to PR on squat reps in a few hours.
I believe there is a prize for having a near death experience and PRing on the same day.

Dman, I was so close.
The allergic reaction was last night so it discounts me winning the prize.
Right now its kind of hard to eat because the acid “burned” my throat which is my only worry.

Oh, it’s over a 24 hour period so you are still good to go.
Sounds like a crappy surprise. Are you that allergic to onions? What’s the antidote?

Yeah the acid burns me and I go into anaphylactic shock so my throat swells to where I can’t breath. Its pretty damn fast and can be deadly if not treated very quickly.
If done quickly for mild exposure having a bunch of Benadryl shoved down my throat will work. When its really bad or not seen to immediately I need Epinephrine injections.
For anything beyond the mildest of exposures I have to be treated or I’ll suffocate.

Sucks. My wife is very allergic to all nuts. We need to be pretty careful when we go to restaurants. Sounds like your is more serious that hers, though.

I, for one, am very glad that you’re still with us after the onion debacle.
What a few days you’ve had. Never heard of anyone having an allergy so severe to onions, thats weird. Glad you’re ok.

Holy Shit! happy your OK…
I too have never heard of such a severe reaction to onions. Glad you’re not dead!
I can’t imagine life without onions (I’m a real foodie). I start chopping onions before I’ve even decided what I’m going to cook.
Your squat progress is nothing short of amazing lately. I can’t believe you’re playing around with 365 now. I can remember you struggling with 300 not long ago. WOW!

The squat thing is kind of surprising to me as well. It doesn’t make a lot of sense but I’ll take it.
