Common Questions and Answers about Epipen leg carrier

epipen

Avatar n tn m also allergic to several medications (antibiotics) and my doctor said I might need an epipen when I take them to keep me alive until I get to a hospital. Just about all antibiotics close my throat. But I thought epipens contained epiphenephrine, and was told by a friend that it's bad for those with a heart arrhythmia. Has anyone here with PVCs had to use an epipen for an anaphlactic shock reaction, and if so, was it safe for the heart? Thanks.

Avatar n tn Hello I have severe reactions from insect stings especially bee stings. Its so bad that 1 or 2 stings will put me into anaphylactic shock. I have over 5000+ PVC's a day and the docs say it is a supposed benign condition. (which I do not believe). My wife has never had a pvc or palpitations. Anyways, I have to carry around a epipen everywhere I go. Last year I was working in my back yard and was stung twice, once in the face under the eye and once in my arm.
Avatar n tn Hi, welcome to the forum, as such epipen are not available yet. Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding. Alternatively, the same drug can be given by the local health care provider or you need to go to emergency department.
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 You may need an Epipen if it becomes more severe but in the meantime see a physician and buy some Benadryl.
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.
Avatar f tn Yes, I take Rebif as well and I don't have any injection site problems. I just started 3 weeks ago though. But I take it at night right before I go to sleep. If I do it during the day, I get realllllllly sleepy. Hope everything turns out ok!
172023 tn?1334672284 I'm planning a trip back home across the country, and I'd like to take Steve the Puppy, who will be 3-1/2 months old by then. He weighs 7.5 pounds now, and in a couple of weeks, when the trip is, he'll probably be 2 pounds heavier. The dimensions I must use for a hard sided airline pet carrier is 15" long x 14" wide x 8" high. What the heck kind of dog fits THAT??? (Steve is a Doxie puppy, so he's long and low).
20451547 tn?1498215245 I have been having panic attacks ever since early 2015 when I was first ever stang by a wasp and went into anaphylactic shock.(the er doctor said I am allergic to bees/wasps/hornets venom. That day I was rushed back into the er and bum rushed by 5 different nurses and a doctor, one nurse asking me which arm I want the epipen in? I am like Idc I can't breath stab me! ) I almost died that day, and now I have been having panic attacks almost every other day.
645800 tn?1466860955 With the talk of EpiPen in Michelle's post earlier today it got me thinking about my problem with needles and other self infecting skin damage devices. I am hoping that maybe someone will have some ideas or at least where to look for help with this. My problem isn't the normal fear of needles. I can get shot or blood drawn with no problems. Well except I have to be able to watch what is going on.If I can't see it happening I will pass out.
Avatar n tn I took him to get groomed and I do that every 6-8 weeks. He got in his carrier excited to go someplace as usual. He didn't seem sick. The groomer said he did fine as usual through the groom. She said she took him out and he peeed. But she did say she noticed him drooling a little this time, which was not ususl. I brought him home and I opened his carrier but he didn't come right out like normal. I went about my business, later I noticed he had came out the carrier and gone to his crate.

Avatar m tn I now carry an epipen but would really like to track down the food that caused me to go into shock. Has anyone had such a reaction to chives or green onions without being allergic to other foods in that family? Thanks for any help you can give me.
Avatar m tn For a couple of years I started having this reaction to mangoes, where my lips burn and start to get crusty, and it has developed to that, my mouth gets itchy and dry, and my throat becomes raw. My aunt who used to be a RN gave me something called aclivor (both a pill and some kind of paste for my lips) which seemed to work for the first event. But lately, I've been running out of the paste and the only place I can find aclivor is on online pharmacies from Mexico.

Avatar n tn Hey there- I was recently with a new partner. Neither of us had any concerns for STD's and she was on birth control so no additional barrier protection was used. It was admittedly "enthusiastic" sex. A few days later she developed what look like ulcers. They are excrutiatingly painful. I am known to be HSV1 positive from a history of cold sores since childhood. However, I do not currently have a cold sore lesion (I did give oral sex).
Avatar n tn I was told I was a carrier of Hep C twenty + years ago.after I gave blood to a blood bank. I have never had Hepatitis of any kind. I was adopted at the age of 4 days old. Could I've gotten it through my birth mother? I did have another test done 2 years ago, but it said I didn't have any signs hepatitis C. I have received blood (6 pints ) since 2005 when I had my hip replacements. I feel fine. I do have BP problems, but I am on medications.What should I do?
Avatar f tn All suspected allergins were removed but she still experiences anaphylactic type symptoms requiring Epipen and Reactin which increases the blood pressure. If anyone could provide some insight or possible explanations it would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn Since we met I am not able to kiss, touch gently or make love to this person since I know of the staphylococcus he has in his leg. I want to know if it is contagious, I am being very difficult not accepting his touch or kiss or making love, yet he has been very patient, and I feel something for him. Any advice? Should I not sleep with him?
