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.
645800 tn?1466860955 My land-line phone goes out about every other month for weeks at a time, and even when it is working most of the time t is so noisy that it is hard to hear anyone. My cell phone is also not that reliable as I barely get any signal most of the time. I also don't have any neighbors near enough to be able to hear any kind of alarm as the nearest one is almost never home.
Avatar n tn m still highly reactive. How long do we stay reactive? How long does the steriod last in our system to fight this off? Will I feel like this forever? Should I have been released from the hospital so soon? Could I have a severe allergy to more than just shellfish? AHHH, sorry, just scared to even leave the house. Thanks for insight on this. This is my first run with this problem and still confused on everything that has happened.
230262 tn?1316645934 Hi Ohio: It's my experience and to my knowledge, once you've had a strong allergic reaction to something, yes, it will accelerate. And NO! Epipens are not expensive. I use Benadryl as my first line of defense once a reaction starts. Many times it works and I don't have to use the Epipen. I hate the way the Epipen makes me feel. So do ask your doctor. I don't want to scare you but severe allergic reactions can be a serious problem.
1639028 tn?1300617084 if you do do you struggel emotionally as well? what is it like for you? what symptoms do you get? how many reactions have you suffered from?
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!
645800 tn?1466860955 After I was stabilized they sent me home with an RX for an EpiPen. But 4 hours later I was back in the ER with a second reaction to that bee sting that was just as bad as the first one. This time they kept me for about 8 hours just to make sure I didn't have yet another episode. You can just imagine the nightmare it was with my insurance company when the hospital billed them for 2 ER visits on the same day for the same thing.
Avatar n tn Is Epipen available in India? If not, what is the alternative emergency treatment for anaphylactic shock commonly used?
Avatar n tn So sorry to be late in responding- how are the bumps doing today? I wouldn't take an epi-pen for that, as long as you are freely breathing and it's just the rash you are seeing. It's very difficult to say for sure if this is an allergic reaction without a doctor being able to look at the issue and have a bit more of your medical history. If you have an epi-pen, I'd imagine you do have a known allergy issue with something?
Avatar m tn Hi, as your symptoms are improving with benadryl and cortisone, it could most probably be due to an allergic reaction. Also, as your symptoms worsen during the day another probability is frontal sinusitis, gravity helps drain secretions from this sinus so the symptoms usually worsen as the day progresses. Please check with your doctor regarding this and continue with your allergy shots. Good luck with your therapy. Regards.
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.
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.
Avatar n tn Once a person is measured/tested for an IOL implant (meaning axial length, curvature, etc), how long are those measurements good for? In other words, how soon should after the measurements should surgery be done for optimum results, is it: One month? Two months? Three months? Thank you.
Avatar f tn If you know you're allergic and you're reaction is worse than you've had it before, then I would steer clear of walnuts all together. I would also consider that there are cross reactions shared with other tree nuts. I don't have this severe of reactions from walnuts, but bad enough that I don't want to risk it. I have the same reaction with all nuts. Peanuts are technically an underground legume, but there is still a cross reaction between tree nuts and peanuts.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I went out last night and was having a good time, I normally carry an epipen for my anaphylactic allergies but haven't had allergies for two years, I'm only Allergic to latex and bananas. I poured my own drinks because we had bottle service but then had to make a quick call so I handed my drink to one of my girlfriends and went outside, when I came back she had gone to the bathroom and had left my drink on the table I didn't think much of it and continued to drink my drink.
Avatar f tn She has an appointment fore the middle of Sept. She is currently in Portugal and is due back this week. I am anxious to see if she's had any episodes the past 2 weeks she's been gone. Hopefully it can help narrow things down.
