Hello listmates,
My three year old daughter has been milk allergic for three years, but
we were recently prescribed an Epi-Pen to carry since we live 25 miles
from the nearest hospital. We got one to keep at home, one for my
purse, and one for her backpack.
My question is this: how do all of you deal with carrying the Epi-Pen
around? Since the weather has turned cold it has become more of a
problem. The Epi-Pen says to keep between certain temperatures. That
can be a problem sometimes. For example, no leaving it in a cold or
warm car, etc.
How do you men carry it safely? I've heard of some people wearing them
around their necks in a homemade carrier. How about children old enough
to carry it themselves?
I'd like to hear about your experiences and everyday life with the
Epi-Pen.
Thanks,
Deborah Garner
