Re: Reactions to regular allergy shots

I have read that somewhere that Xolair users get less ana shock than

penicillin users and here in Australia now they are running trials for

people with severe peanut and food allergy, unfortunately we had a

little boy here die here because someone gave him peanut butter at

daycare and when the staff realized what was going on and got his epi

pen, no one could use it and one of the workers injected it on

themselves by mistake, now our government is going to spend lots of

money to make an epipen work easier, for the life of me I can't

understand how something like this could have happened as I think even a

monkey can use one.

Nothing surprises anymore. I have a nurse friend who is extremely

allergic to peanuts. She ate an egg roll once in a restaurant that had

been fried in peanut oil. After the first bite, she knew what was

happening and made good use of her epi pen.

My doctor is going to switch me to a twin jet when my current epi's

expire. I have NEVER had to use one but just in case, it is going to

be with me.

I had only had one BAD allergic reaction in my life. It was in 1960

when I was I was 6 years old after a REGULAR allergy shot.

They gave me an adrenaline shot right in the place the other shot was

given. Did I cry??? I don't remember but I am sure I did. I didn't

need to go to the hospital.

I could go into more detail about that experience but I am already

boring everyone LOL!

Which is why all of the staff and teachers at our church's private school is

taught/reminded/and practice how to use an EpiPen and they are

instructed/reminded when to use one. When I came home with mine, my daughter

showed me that she knew how to use it--she teaches at our church school and they

had just practiced the day before. It is part of their " in-service " training.

I have never had a bad reaction to anything either--praise God, but I carry my

epi pen with me at all times!

Good breathing to all!

Hi, Just a quick question. I have the peanut allergy, acording to my

allergy specialist it's at the extreme end of the spectrum. Last time

I lost all my nails in the fist twenty min's. Went in to shock, the

whole nine yards. Anyway enough whinging, I'm about to have my first

Xolair shot, does the normal protacals sound like enough?
