Cutaneous Mastocytosis and Epi Pens
Anyway they had a big discussion on whether I should carry an
epipen
and have decided that although the risk is low it is not zero so I have to get them. I’ll get them next week and wondered what life changes people have had to make having these and do they affect holiday insurance and flying?

Too much Gonal F
I had 75ml left in one
epipen
so took this and then stupidly set the second pen to 375ml, not realising until too late. I’m due for another scan tomorrow to see whether I’m ready for my trigger shot and am terrified I have messed this up. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Thanks xx

I am not sure what to do…
I was prescribed an
epipen
in case it happens again. The last thing I want to do is have to give her back…but with being allergic to her…if I contact the rescue and say I have to return her (they made me sign a contract that I wouldn’t give her to a third party), they are going to be so angry.

1 ablation 3 cardioversions
In August of 2023, I got two wasp stings and used an
epipen
. That same day, the afib and tachycardia returned—with the adrenaline from using the
epipen
the likely catalyst according to my cardiologist.

Could a Wasp sting challenge adrenal response?
Wasps and the occasional hornet have been hovering around an old willow tree in my garden and I wonder if I should arm myself with an
epipen
just in case. I have been applying a topical sting relief cream to the skin but really wondering what is going on inside my body. Any thoughts?

Internet censorship?
Quick witted infusion nurse jabbed me with
EpiPen
, which brought me back to life. I was interested in what
EpiPen
was, so searched internet. Search came back, "access denied, adult content". Who would have guessed that
EpiPen
was adult content?

I can't chance Brazil nuts as my Daughter is allergic to them ( has

What do you think?
I was simply told to carry an
epipen
and not to drink that drink again! Since that has been the same old-same old pretty much.

Anaphylaxis from Augmentin (amoxicillin) after pneumonia, no previous penicillin allergy.
The advice I would like to know is: 1) Do people in the US, or people in the UK if they've gone privately recommend carrying an
Epipen
for severe penicillin allergy?

Meds and ablation
Have to carry
epipen
following issue with heart meds 15 years ago. Now can't tolerate flecainide and some other drugs. Had managed AF symptoms since then with diet and lifestyle/ no meds for about 14 years, but thats not cutting it any more sadly... I think since COVID.

Calling UK tocilizumab or epipen users: How do you dispose of your self-injector? Who arranges it?
Someone on the Vasculitis forum is encountering difficulty - is expected to attend the hospital to be handed her self-injection medication because they claim there isn't a protocol for disposing of the needle.

PEG allergy, new to this and struggling with an allergist who doesn't know what PEG is?
They did prescribe me an
EpiPen
, which is good, but I feel so let down. (I have no plans to get an mRNA vaccine at this point, and the J&J is out in my area, so that won't be happening any time soon.)
