This comment took me on a walk down memory lane...

The shortage of asparaginase (brand name Erwinaze) was very stressful during my daughter's recovery! This was in 2021.

She had allergic reactions to two other medicines, and Erwinaze was identified as an alternative. We ended up getting a batch of Erwinaze, but she was allergic to that too. She ended up getting it on a slow drip under full hospitalization instead of a relatively quick visit at the infusion center.

If anyone else is in a similar situation, this patient advocate might be able to help:
