I too used to feel this way but from all I have learned once
anaphylactic always anaphylactic. If you stay away from the allergen
long enough the first time you come into contact with it you may not
even react but don't let that fool you because the next time you come
into contact it could be a very nasty reaction.

Check to see if your drug plan covers it because it is a necessity, some
do, mine didn't. I just struggled through and gradually she did drink
less of it as she got older. Also there may be some type of assistance
through the government?
