I know others have it worse etc, but I'm such a worrier, I feel like im on edge all the time, terrified of a reaction. It's not like he's ever had a really bad reaction and im still terrified. He has been prescribed epipen as his skin prick tests showed a severe enough reaction to peanuts. He's 6, ADHD, impulsive, would eat chocolate and question whether it had peanuts in mid mouthful. He probably has autism and odd, and it's the allergy I would take away if I could. He's just had a mild reaction, either to long grass or peas of all thr stupid things, and although the antihistamine bought it under control I just feel like weeping, like a post adrenaline feebleness. It wasn't even bad but I rushed the kids into town so I could ask thd pharmacist if it was going to get worse.....how does everyone cope without becoming a recluse/depressed/nervous wreck?
