Palforzia is a new medication that's supposed to help reduce the severity of allergic reactions if my child accidentally eats peanuts. I've been reading about Palforzia, and while it sounds promising, I'm also nervous about the side effects. Since it's not a cure, we'd still need to be super careful about what they eat and always carry an EpiPen. I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with Palforzia. Did you notice any improvements? What were the side effects like? Were they worth it? Also curious about the process of getting prescribed and taking it. Was it hard to get approved for insurance? My kid is 6, so I especially would like to hear from other parents who have had a similar experience.
