My little apartment gave onto a beautiful little garden filled with plants, which unfortunately only intensified my symptoms. I unburdened myself to my landlords, who pointed out that a new young doctor from Paris had just opened a practice in the village. He took one look at my epinephrine inhaler and shook his head angrily. A whole new world opened for me. But he cautioned I would not find it in the US, as it had not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
