  • don't you guys give solumedrol?

  • When I had an Anakit, my doctor thought the kit maker's idea of a tourniquet was funny.

    They had a 6-inch string in the kit.

    My doctor laughed and said, "I gues that's their idea of a tourniquet."

    Then he told me to use a different tourniquet.

  • don't keep the Epi in the car!

  • SVN: Small Volume Nebulizer.

    That's what my friend, a Paramedic of 20 years, told me.

    I never saw one, and I used to be an EMT-I (I for Intermediate.)

  • It's good that you have an Epi-pen. But you also need to educate the people around you about your condition not just your Paramedic friend because he can't be there all the time. Get a few Epi-pens and put them in a few places like in your car or house, to basically have one in close proximity to yourself. Have a clearly marked easy to read action plan on your person on how to use the Epi-pen incase you cannot do it yourself in an emergency and time is very limited. Hope this helps. Good Luck

  • I wish I knew what else they did for me during this reaction. All I remember is gasping for air even though I was on oxygen, then losing my airway and blacking out.

    I came to in the ER, and I've carried an Epi-pen since then.

    I hope I don't have to use it, b/c my reaction happens so fast I don't believe I'll have time to do so.

    My friend's a Paramedic and I showed him the Epi-pen, told him he'll probably have to help if I have the reaction again.

    I'm glad he was willing to do so.

  • he sounds like he has a cold or sumthing
