I had a fancy new allergy/asthma injection today called Xolair. Xolair is this really great drug, but some people have, uh, developed a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. They die either right after the shot or after several months of the shot. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW...kinda like life. Because of this, I am now carrying an EPI pen with me at all times.
I started to explain this to Evan
So, Evan, I could go into anaphylactic shock. That's why I have this EPI pen...I shoot it into my thigh RIGHT THROUGH MY CLOTHES! and have 15 minutes to seek medical help...which will kinda suck if I am driving back from the doctor since he is an hour away from home...
So, what are the signs of anaphylactic shock?
Well, feelings of impending doom was on the list...
So, just like any other day? How are you going to tell the difference? Do you have a lot of refills for this?

I can just see him standing in your room playing the music from jaws. I want to hang out with you two. The honesty and love and humor are delicious!
So, this drug to treat asthma, a disease that can be worsened by stress, warns you that you might just drop dead after taking it?
Ah, the wonders of modern pharmacology.
goodness! that is a serious side effect! man, id be buggin' out... i already think im going to die every day and im not even remotely sick.
mama edge, it's a weird type of drug that "...selectively binds to human immunoglobulin E (IgE)..." so it messes with your body, so while it helps, it could kill you, but in a different way!
Man, the fun never ends, does it? :o
You two are the best antidote ever! xo
