Damn wasp!

The mandatory hospital visit adds another layer of complexity. I know when using a lifesaving drug, shot discomfort should be of zero concern, but what was the experience of using them like? I would guess massive bruising and tissue damage based on the flow rate of the injection.

no, none of that. Injection site was not even noticeable.

Same here.

Gonna ask the doc at my next physical if she'll prescribe Neffy instead of the pen.

It appears to be a nasal spray.

Wow, that's really nice to hear. I've always assumed it would be excruciating!

Add another item to my list of things to look into, no idea a nasal spray existed!

it is newer. My Dr. told me to stay with the epi pen, I think because it was new to the market.

Promising nonetheless! As far as I'm concerned, the epi-pen's biggest shortcoming is the storage requirement. I'd like to keep them on the glovebox, workshop, etc., but they degrade so fast in heat and fluctuating temps.

Yep.

I also take a benadryl when I do the pen.....probably too late now, you are either better or dead now...lol. I hope you recovered.

Just had to hit myself a second time. My mid section started breaking out in hives even though I was stung in the right ankle. Fun typing this with the shakes!
