Epi Pen ????

My daughter is allergic to peanuts and we just went and picked up her epi pen and I noticed that it exp in may 2007. That just doesn't seem to be a very long shelf life for something that you hopefully will not need to use often. Of course if this is the norm that is fine but I feel like maybe the pharmacy just gave me an old one that they had on the shelf and if that is the case I am going back up there. So if someone could check theirs and let me know I would sooo appreciate it!

Egg Allergy ?????

I have given my son eggs 5 times. A couple times he had scrambled eggs and a couple times cheese omelette. Today i tried eggs again 3 out of the 5 times he has had eggs within a 1/2 hour after he is vomitting. Once I said oh maybe he had too much one time we had been at a restaurant and then went in the car so I blamed it on riding right after eating but today he had a small amount of egg about 1/2 of one egg and we were at home and sure enough he vomitted everywhere. My son is 14 months old. and is it possible for this to be an egg allergy...

Calling Moms of Children with Food allergies....what Is Your School's Epi Policy

Hi Moms: My son has a peanut allergy. Like many of you we carry and Benadryl, epi pen and albuterol inhaler everywhere. No problem, I just carry a bigger bag.:) Here's my question: I signed my 5 year old son up for a very reputable camp this summer. Their allergy response policy is unlike any I have ever encountered. His allergy action plan calls for Benadryl, epi & inhaler in that order if needed. The camp will ONLY administer the epi pen. They will NOT administer Benadryl and he has to self administer the inhaler. I find this to be...

Nut Allergic Child and Sports

Hi! I have a nut allergic son who has been having severe reactions. Recently, he had a reaction from touching my daughter's new basketball that was handed to her by an assistant at the school. I could only speculate that she may have had some nut product for breakfast and then touched the ball, which my son then touched. So, my question is how do you handle sports activities with a severely nut allergic child? If he plays any sport where he is touching equipment (ball, bat, mat, etc.) that other children are contacting and those other...

Dad Asked Me to Cat Sit for a Week/other Family Who Is Allergic Is Furious

Please help... My Dad (divorced from my mom) is going out of town and asked me to cat sit for a 1 week. He hasn't been able to find anyone else to help. My stepdad is very allergic. My mom has become a crazy person since finding out. She has told me that my stepdad will never be able to come to the house again or it will only be for very short visits. My son won't be allowed to go to their house unless I rewash ALL of his clothes, jackets, etc. My question... is she over-reacting? I would never GET a cat knowing the situation, but is...

Adverse Reaction to Epi-pen Jr.

Hi moms, Last weekend, I fed my son whole wheat pasta, green peas, with homemade carbonara sauce (milk, egg, basil, parmesan cheese). All of these ingredients, he has had some way before, but never with carbonara sauce. Almost immediately, he began rubbing his eyes, getting the sauce all over his face and into his eyes, and he began swelling pretty intensely, but he was breathing fine. We went to urgent care, where they gave him benadryl orally, which he promptly vomited. Then, they gave him an epi-pen jr. shot. My son cried for a...
