Necessity breeds innovation! In this case, this is probably going to become my signature style as a bassist until I can get frets I’m not allergic to. I already regret streaming with these on and I haven’t even tried it yet. #allergy #hands #nickelallergy #bass #espbass #electricbass #fingercots https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UcujiF19G/?igshid=yx7ztyjr4qr
Today I learned purple petunias will develop an autoimmune response that attacks purple pigment if you genetically add an additional purple pigment producing gene into their genome.
If you are overstimulated by your own thought processes it is okay to stop doing those activities (at least temporarily) to readjust and try again.
1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, don’t place your thumb/fingers over either end
2. Flick the blue cap off
3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams.
- Ring an ambulance even if everything seems to be fine!
More info for those who have asked -
Bare skin is best, but epi-pens go through clothes so don’t stress too much over that
Always, always ring the paramedics after using an epi-pen or even have someone else do it straight away. Another dose may be needed which paramedics can administer.
Location, location. Apologies if outer thigh was a bit vague! If you stand up and allow your arms to hang by your side where your fingers fall against your leg is a great place.
Legal issues, in Australia first aiders are protected by a Good Samaritan Act whereby the provision of reasonable assistance to those injured or ill is protected by law. I’m unsure how this translates to around the world but I’ll do some research
Thank you all for reblogging and getting this message out there, and also for sharing your stories! A lot happened while I was asleep but you definitely made my day and could very well have saved someone else’s just by sharing some information and getting educated! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing over the last year! - Happy Spring Australia - time to defrost and be and safe :)

sending love to anyone who struggles with this anxiety and fear and I am wishing you luck to find the support system and access to food options you need!!! you’re not too much and you’re not high maintained. you are loved and valuable as you are!!!
I haven’t had to update this in a while, which has been good, in this case no news really has been good(ish) news.
So what’s happened since last April? To sum up:
> I caught so many bugs it was unbelievable, but none of them caused any hospital visits and as my immune system regained its strength I did stop catching everything.
> I have Trigeminal Neuralgia & take Carbamazapine to stop it from causing me pain, which coincidentally has also seemed to help my back problems.
> I still have to use crutches every so often, but much less than I was starting to use them.
> I’ve had 3 mysterious skin allergic reactions (as shown in previous post), around 10 issues with my eye - itching/pain - that was stopped by piriton - & now have very dry skin/eczema on my eyelids (Aveeno cream clears it up within 24 each time). The GP I saw has suggested that this is all an allergic reaction to the TN meds, but the TN is definitely still worse than all of that. I’m yet to see if my neuro agrees…
> I had a 2 week spell of headaches behind the eyes couple with some mild vertigo recently, but optician couldn’t find an issue, neither could the GP. Again, yet to really bring it up with anyone on the MS team.
> Fatigue, stiffness and memory issues are unfortunately still ever present, but I think they might be something that stick with me for ever to be honest.
> There have (of course) been other issues here & there, but right now none spring to mind…
They will catch you… Or isn’t it rather youwho will catch them? Coming very soon to your garden, parks, cities, villages… well… mostly everywhere.
A spoof of your average blockbuster epic trailer. With the obliged spoiler of the movie’s key scene: THE SNEEZING!
I wanted to pay a tribute to a recurring state that hits me every year at the same period since I’m 10: pollen allergies. It’s been so long, we’re like good old friends now!
TRIVIA:
All the fake names at the end are among the plants I’m sensitive to.
Aerioos is a spoof of Aerius, a treatment for allergies
Klinex is a spoof of a famous tissues brand, that one uses in mass when allergic!
It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.
In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.
As someone with food allergies I feel like everyone should know this. Especially for those who are physically or mentally unable to stab themself with a needle for whatever reason (such as myself who has an extreme phobia of needles), others around them need to know how to administer one in case of an emergency.
Another tip! If their thigh isn’t exposed don’t panic! The needle will go through fabric as long as you don’t try to push through a seam. Seams are too thick for the needle!!!
I’m pinning this post
As someone who has had to have this used on them, plus I’ve had to turn around and use it in someone e else….take this into your brain and store it in there.
Like a sprawling urban city, certain neighborhoods of the human body support different communities of microbes. And many of these are good guys; the microbes in our gut help us digest food, for example, whereas those on our tongueandskin can guard against invading pathogens. Now, researchers have found beneficial bacteria in our nose as well. This “nasal microbiome” may guard against chronic sinus inflammation or even allergies.
My boyfriend and I were walking through the woods on this gorgeous trail, until he grabs me from behind and sneezes into my shoulder. (He’s allergic to pollen and ragweed)
“Bless you, are you okay?”
“I am now” He adjusts his glasses and gives me a wink.
He knows exactly what he is doing…I wonder if he is doing research from the community…
