I always carry two epipens in the even that I misfire one or it misfires on its own as I administer it. I was wondering if you all carry one or two? I also feel like it buys me extra time depending on where I am in proximity to getting to help.
I realize this may have been discussed before, but am curious as to what folks are currently doing. becca

Two each. When I went into anaphylactic shock myself, the EMT didn't know how to use the epi and injected it into his hand. I was in a near death condition and would hate to have had only the one available. Thank goodness we had plenty. Lesson learned!

Always two (2), even when we go on walks in the neighborhood.
When on an out-of-town trip -- especially including airline travel -- we carry four: 2 with each parent, in fanny packs at waist.

Always two. I wouldn't feel comfortable with only one.
I am now having my ds carry two in a little
backpack he has. I also keep a laminated list of his doctor, allergist, his name,
what he is allergic to, our name and address, etc. Also, hand wipes and safe
food for him for a snack. He carries this
with him when we go anywhere.
Two too!!
I alway carry two with me.
Five ;-)
Well, I carry two really, but we have 5 in the house.
Not our usual, but I had to renew the prescription while those we had were not quite expired. So for a little while we have 5
We always carry two now, Iused to carry just one, but got another after reading the great info on this site!!

I may seem crazy but I carry 4 with me at all times. We often go to the beach and we live about 23 minutes from the nearest hospital (a closer one is opening in the spring)so I feel that carrying 4 keeps me calmer and I know that if I had to administer multiple epi's before EMS arrived I would have enough. I also have 2 children with food allergies and God forbid they both get into something at a park for example I would have enough to cover both of them. Granted, my 14 month old has many food allergies/intolerances but nothing anaphalactic so far (knock on wood) I still like to be prepared. AND to be honest I am calmer carrying more....
