i know I should have an emergency kit--but I have never gotten anyone to give me the emergency injection kit. My first endo said they called it in--but it never got done. Since my symptoms have progressed over the last two years, probably partly because the second endo took me off meds, so I basically had to start all over again. I worry a little more about it now that I am taking a higher dose of HC.

Watch the dates on your canned foods, especially the items you place in your emergency supply kit. Most have dates stamped right on them these days. This wasn't always the case.

I have to go have a tooth filled tomorrow and I'm somewhat apprehensive about the anesthetic. I know most often the ones they use contain epinephrine because it's a vasoconstricter and causes the anesthesia to work longer.

I asked my cardiologist and he said if I didn't get a big dose of the epi, if it was mixed, with the beta blockers I should be ok.

I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage the day that I had a mole removed at my dermatologist. They used Epinephrine and Xylocaine and when we received the autopsy report it revealed that my baby was perfectly normal and healthy without chromosonal issues prior to him dieing in my womb that day.
