Dawn, do you also tell each of your team mates that you have these? Have
you had them practice using a "trainer" pen? If you have a severe event
there is a chance that others will need to administer the epinephrine. I
nearly lost a friend that way. He gave himself one dose but then passed
out. Other people gave him the additional doses that saved his life.
