Fear of using epipen   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1638 of 2395 |
It is very interesting how few parents are willing to use the epipen on their own children - let alone other people's children.  In fact there is an interesting study out at the moment which illustrates this very well - if you go to the website it is the last piece of news in the left hand column.
 
As you know, I have a real fear of using it on myself so, to be fair, I would be quite nervous using it on other people's children.
 
Don't know what everyone else thinks.....

Yes, it faces the Eiger We were skiing on the nursery slopes though!!

 

We had hoped that a cold winter holiday would be the answer for our family, in particular my son. He would be able to have the freedom to go off to ski-school without the constant 'epipen' hanging over him. A chance to make new friends and be 'normal'. Lets face it, he finds it tough to be in the cricket team in the summer as mum (with epipen)has to go along too! You'd be surprised ( or not) how many adults are not happy to be left in charge of an epipen! I don't mind at all, but my son is getting to the age when Mum's  presence can be an embarrassment! We will certainly go again as, despite the wasp sighting, it was very relaxing.

 

No wasps in deepest Sussex yet!

Nor in Ramsbottom, Lancashire - but it has been very windy ...

Is Grindlewald near the Eiger?

I must admit to enjoying the cold, wasp free weather - even been
wearing perfume.

I first came across Epipens about 8 years ago when I took my son and his friend David out for the day. David has a severe nut allergy and it was the first...
