Has anyone had convulsions during a reaction to peanuts?

I have not dealt with this

I have not dealt with this personally but have heard of people who have.

My assumption is that it is due to severe reactions and lack of oxygen. However, I am not a Doctor.

If it were me, in the event of this type of reaction (and absent of any other medical diagnosis that could cause the convulsions) I would administer the EpiPen as a precaution--unless I was told not to by my doctor or allergist.

Please be safe and consult

Please be safe and consult your allergist regarding these symptoms. None of the moderators here are medical professionals and we're really not qualified to answer this sort of question.

Thank you for your help. I

Thank you for your help. I have consulted an allergy doctor and he said my symptoms are not typical of a peanut allergy, but that people manifest differently.

This is the first time I have gone to a specialist. Like many people my age who have this allergy, we have learned to live with it, and be as careful as we possibly can. Most of what we do because of our allergy is second nature to us.

The doctor ordered a blood test to determine how allergic I am to peanuts; I am awaiting the results.

In the meantime, he put me on a daily dosage of prescriptiom strength Allegra. He said I will be on it for the rest of my life.
