Ditto. Thanks Cheri for this view.
As a Grandmother and soon to be 60 year old, I too carry an EpiPen. I
had my very first anaphylaxis reaction last summer and ended up in the
emergency room with my tongue swollen about 4 times its normal size.
This put me in extreme danger as the windpipe could be closed. We don't
know what caused my three different anaphylaxis reactions last summer
but it's not something I take lightly. Yes, I'm taking medication and
shots now. but because a specific allergy couldn't be determined, I
carry the EpiPen.
Until one walks in another's shoes, you just don't always understand. I
am much more understanding of those with severe allergies and asthma
now.
Let's don't be too critical of those with handicaps (wish I could think
of a better word this morning but can't) as they come in all forms.
