Guest guest Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 I will be getting my first shot next week. Thankfully I will only need the smaller dose. Any tips I should know beforehand? I need to spend 1 hour there after my first shot. Is this typical for your first shot? I have needed epi injections 4 times after allergy shots due to asthma reactions immediately so they rinse my syringes first with epi now (along with time-released in two vials). Does anyone ever use terbutaline (Brethine is one brand name) for asthma management any more? I was on it for preterm contractions with 4 of my pregnancies and it really helped my lungs, though the side effects were yucky. I had been on it basically for 5 months every other year. Now it has been over 3 years since using it and I wonder if that has an influence on how much worse my asthma has been this last year. Just curious. B. Quote
