"I carry 2 EpiPens with me at all times, they have saved me more than once. When an anaphylactic reaction strikes, I reach for my EpiPen, inject, and within minutes I'm feeling better. I carry 2 in case the first dose is not enough, that has only happened once, and the second dose did the trick. Thankful to still be alive. I follow up with Benadryl to stop itching hives."

"I was accidentally stuck by an EpiPen and was diagnosed with diabetes 3 weeks later. I am not an EpiPen user and was unaware that it could cause diabetes until now. This happened to me 3 years ago, please make your users aware that this can happen. In your side effects list, it states that you have not had a case reported about this happening, now you do."

"Being allergic to bee stings, EpiPens have saved my life on two different occasions. Without it, I could easily have died from anaphylactic shock."

"My son was born with multiple life-threatening allergies (1989). EpiPen saved his life numerous times as a child. The good Lord healed these allergies when he was 7 and subsequently didn't need an EpiPen. However, in college, three new allergies surfaced: freshwater fish, seafood, and latex. At present, an EpiPen is part of his normal everyday attire. He is a chef and clips it to his trousers for immediate use. He has had to self-inject a number of times. This easy-to-use, life-saving medication is priceless! My son is alive today because of EpiPens, and I HIGHLY endorse its use. I carry my own EpiPen for bee stings. Fortunately, I have not had to use it yet! But I am definitely prepared!"
