If you are still breathing an hour and a half later, you did not have an allergic reaction. I needed my epipen within 2 minutes because I was gasping for breath the last time I had a reaction.

If this is still recent, make sure the stinger isn't still in your butt. That might be some of the pain, if it broke off on impact.

My partner and one of my children both carry epis for their allergies and when I'm thinking from a logical standpoint, I know the drill. I've unfortunately gone through the motions multiple times, especially when we were figuring out all of my daughters allergies. For some reason though, that logic is thrown out the fucking window when I need it for myself.
