Common Questions and Answers about Epipen holders for kids

epipen

Avatar n tn I have some serious allergies and often they close my throat. I live 20 minutes from the nearest doctor or hospital. Until recently I always felt safe because I could use an epipen and that would give me time to get help. But now I have been diagnosed with about 8000 PVCs a day, and was told by another sufferer that I shouldn't use an epipen anymore, that it's not a good idea for those with PVCs.
216354 tn?1262871346 5 weeks with twins and my husband and I are trying to get a jumpstart at buying things for the babies so that we don’t get hit with a huge bill at all once. My question is concerning strollers/car seats. We are looking for a twin stroller where the babies can be side by side. We preferably want one where we can click the car seats into the strollers so we can just go! So far, we can really only find front/back strollers.

934889 tn?1252505649 My pants are already too tight and I have to do magic tricks with ponytail holders to keep them on me. Is anyone else showing already? My doctor doesnt see patients until 8 weeks unless there is an issue but I am wondering if I should raise this concern to him...
Avatar n tn Is Epipen available in India? If not, what is the alternative emergency treatment for anaphylactic shock commonly used?

Avatar m tn Hey, I am with you on this. What is next? And listing people with depression is already being discussed. I think it is fair game that if you are going to go as far as to post peoples names who are legal permit holders, it is equally fair to post the "authors" name of the said list of permit holders. It all lacks tact, but this is where we are today. Something that has been said around CE is, "whats good for the goose is good for the gander".
Avatar n tn and the clear, clean, single use plastic vacutainer holders into another trash container. INTERESTINGLY....the ONCE FULL TO THE BRIM blood borne container was about 1/8 full !!! What a waste of container space.... What an excessive cost to our medical trash removal... I know the answer from OSAH....and the regulators of medical / lab practices....BUT I would like to know if there are "multiple use holder devices".
Avatar f tn The other day my friend had a major asthma attack that almost sent him to the ER-- he thankfully had an epipen nearby. He thinks what triggered it was a laxative (sennosides in pill form) he took a couple of hours before. Is this even possible? And if so, should he be avoiding all things laxative? I wouldn't be asking these questions here, but he is too stubborn to go to a doctor like he should.
Avatar f tn t realise that I was drawn blood with reusable holder(they reuse the holders) however they are using fresh needles and vaccum tubes.But I am worried wether the reusable holders contain a blood stains on it and I might have contracted HIV that way while drawing the blood....
Avatar f tn For pollen, dog and cat hair try taking some antihistamine like Zyrtec (works well for me). For the food allergies, you just have to avoid them. Try Googling some gluten-free recipes.
645800 tn?1466860955 I am very allergic to bee and wasp stings to the point that I can die from a sting within about 1/2 hour or so. As a result I am suppose to carry an EpiPen with me at all times ( especially since there are a lot of wasps and bees around my home ). But despite this the couple of times I have been stung I have never been able to give myself the much needed shot. And to make matter worse I always have 2 reactions to each sting.
Avatar n tn I was rushed to emergency, given benedryl and sent home 4 hours later. I got an Epipen for I was told, although rare, that I could have a secondary reaction within the next week. Sure enough November 5 I had a second reaction (bi-phasic reaction). I was given the epipen by my mother for I passed out and couldn't give it myself. Back to the hospital.
Avatar f tn They use reusable blood tube holders on patients and NEVER wash them in between patients. They also use them for weeks or even months on end without throwing them out. According to OSHA 50% to 80% of blood tube holders are contaminated after even a single use. I noticed that the blood tube holder used on me had some blood splashes on it -- but the phlebotomist told me -- don't worry -- this never touches your skin. Am I at risk for contracting HIV or Hepatitis?
Avatar f tn Get tested for allergies. It sounds like you have ingested or been exposed to something that is an allergen (to you). You may need an Epipen if it becomes more severe but in the meantime see a physician and buy some Benadryl.
1658855 tn?1335211819 For me.. cup holders! LOL. Sounds silly but they come in handy for everything. Also lots of space to put diaper bag and other crap. Easy to fold down, and turn!

Avatar f tn It started only in the injection site. But now its in other areas for ex my chest it itched so bad that I noticed a bruise, which is un normal for me.
Avatar f tn I have carried an epipen for the last 11 years for my son and Thank God we have not had to use it. But I was wondering if anyone did have an experience like this and had to use an epipen. Or if you have any information on urticaria pigmentosa? ( I know alot about it but I always would like to know more. Please share any information you may have or experiences you incountered.
432779 tn?1364494875 As far as a cheaper one, I liked the graco duoglider I had the new style one, but it was very heavy and I had to constantly switch strollers in and out of my van. It steered fine and had tons of storage and nice cup holders for the kids, it would hold 4 cups at once.
230262 tn?1316645934 d suggest you get a pediatric Epipen. Personally I keep 2 on hand. You should have 1 at school for him and one either in your purse or at home. He should have one available at all times. These allergies accelerate quickly. Check for dosage with your doctor, but you can also use benadryl for allergic reactions. I'm so sorry this happened to your children. These stings hurt horribly! And right now with school starting, you all have enough on your plate. Good luck at the clinic tonight.
