This mesns that it takes a lot of it to actually hurt someone. An EpiPen or two, even if unnecessary, is completely safe. Temporary side effects may include nausea and a racing heart, but that's a whole lot better than anaphylaxis.Allergic Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560004953452861782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186265468200806680.post-12518339150682577852015-04-22T23:29:39.521-05:002015-04-22T23:29:39.521-05:00We have never had to use epinephrine.

Is there any adverse side effects if they were not really having anaphylactic shock? I believe I would not hesitate. I feel like I am good in a crisis. But...that is my only concern. Do you know the answer to that?A Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726930534894012559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186265468200806680.post-26787893152439743372015-03-23T23:07:22.073-05:002015-03-23T23:07:22.073-05:00As a teenager with food allergies, I thing it'...As a teenager with food allergies, I thing it's great that she got those opportunities to self-administer. It's scary for you, and possibly dangerous for her, but it's less dangerous than sending her off alone, where she might hesitate until it's too late, without practice and the confidence to be able to do it herself.Allergic Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560004953452861782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186265468200806680.post-41519343048960386922014-10-30T13:49:42.070-05:002014-10-30T13:49:42.070-05:00This post made my heart race, my stomach turn, and...This post made my heart race, my stomach turn, and my palms sweat. <br /><br />The thing that parents of food allergic children have to teach our kids is to LIVE. Add all the other parenting things on top of that - the most important thing to impart on our kids is to LIVE. Not in the greeting card - wind blowing through the fields and hair way - that's all fine and good - but to really LIVE.<br /><br />Jab it in NOW and LIVE!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638979550118156234noreply@blogger.com
