Cindy,

I am so glad to hear they know what is going on and treating it!

I had an epi-pen (have asthma and was homebound after surgery for six weeks), but once I read that it could be given through a pair of jeans.....I thought I would just figure something else out if I needed the Epi! ;o)..Besides, the allergist told me I would have to call for an ambulance after using it, so I figured, fine, let the EMT's deal with it...I'm not sticking anything that big through my jeans!!! ;o) Seriously, the Epi-Pen is a great device!

Please keep us all posted. Oh, BTW, if your husband finds a way to donate you to science while still alive, I would like to know, as I am sure I would be an interesting specimen for them as well!

Did you not know that your child was coming out?? If not, I give you huge credit! You must have a pain threshold that reaches to the sky!!!!!! ;o) I've not have a baby, but I was told that the pain from my Pancreatitis, or Pancreatitis in general is worse than labor!

Feel better!

I'm not a Dr. or any type of Medical Professional. The information I share is based on what I have experienced personally or what I have learned.
