If you suffer from asthma, you know what it feels like to gasp for air or feel tightness in your chest. The goal of medications is to prevent symptoms like these from happening. There are two general classes of : quick-relief and long-term/controller control medications. Many inhaled asthma medications are meant to be used daily to keep your airways healthy, even if you are not experiencing symptoms.

MYTH: Epinephrine can be administered anywhere on the body.

FACT: Epinephrine is injected into the muscle of your outer thigh ONLY. To inject it anywhere else may increase the chance of having serious side effects.

We have been seeing more and more misinformation on how to administer epinephrine across social media so we wanted to take this chance to educate everyone. Do not inject it into a vein, into your fingers, toes, hands, or feet, and PLEASE do not place it in the center of your chest.

Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. While it is a safe and highly effective medication that can reverse severe allergy symptoms, it can have serious side effects if used improperly.

This literally made my day 😭

One of the most important things to me is to ensure my patients feel heard and understood. I make sure all your questions are answered and that we’ve addressed everything at your visit.

And yes, tell me what book you’re reading, show me pics of your new grand baby or your daughter’s wedding, or your dog. I love when my patients feel comfortable sharing personal things with me :)

Do allergies run in the family?

Short answer: yes!

If one parent has seasonal/environmental allergies, there is ~ 35% chance of passing this on. If both parents have allergies, this goes up to close to 80%. Yikes! 🌳 🐈 🍂 🤧

Rush Immunotherapy

Rush immunotherapy is a quicker way to get through the allergy injection build up period.

Consists of 2 consecutive days with multiple rounds of injections 30 minutes apart, followed by a 2 hour observation period.

On average, 4.5 months of build up are saved!

Pre-medications with steroids, antihistamines, and montelukast are used to help reduce the risk of reactions.

Reasons for choosing rush over traditional build up:
- desire for more rapid relief
- unable to commit time to long build up schedule
- upcoming allergy season
