Swollen

[Char_Baby]

just today my lips have totaly swelled, i havent used any different make up or think of anything ive eaten or drank to make them go like this, one side is bigger than the other, its quite sore to touch and its not a spot either

any ideas on what it could be?

Do you have a rash anywhere, or any breathing problems?
Anaphylaxis sounds unlikely but worth checking I suppose. ;)

What happened before it started swelling? And how quickly did it swell up? Is it the lip itself, or inside the mouth, or around the lips?

Am jumpy at the moment after an incident the other day.
She'd be dead by now, not posting on theSite. ;)
I spoke to a med student that was shadowing one of our OOH GPs the other day and thought of you :p
Ha. We get around. :p
I've never done OOH primary care, but I'll be out with the ambulances in April. :D

Well I pity this poor sod. He'd been driving around Longbenton for an hour trying to find out where we were :D

Shudder.

I've seen pics of the new shopping centre by the way. Much too posh for Longbenton. I imagine it looks really incongruous.

ahh well im not dead, fear not peeps

i went to the doctors today because this morning i woke up looking like leslie ash, he said id had an allergic reaction to something id eaten or drank (i think it was the mushroom soup, was the first time id tried it so maybe) and he sent me off for some lovely blood tests to check my antibodies and something else, and i passed out :(

thanks for all your help though, its gone down a bit now
