whoa!! i know its not a toy really but i'm a bit bewildered as to me having one.
i react very badly to insect bites (been on flucloxacylin (sp) three times this year).
however on thursday, and just for a change i got stung by a wasp on the side of the head, on friday the side of my head swelled up down and across my throat and down my chest to nipple line but didn't affect breathing… docs gave me antibiotics (again) and commented that the only time i've used the nhs as far back on his system was for flucloxacylyn for bites!
anyhoo doc rang today to say to pick up a prescription he's written for an epipen… i thought kids who didn't like peanut butter had them.
my missus will pick it up as i've not got time to get it before our hols, and i will speak to him properly as to when to use it, but i assume its for throat closing, non brathing situations… not just oh heck i've been stung/ bitten i'll have a dose of this? and docs prescribed it for worst case scenario?
sorry for the long and boring post, but medicince and health and docs and me don't really mix.
