My face was so puffed up this morning as one big hive

[iloveflipflops]

I have no idea what I ate but I woke up at 4 am itching my head. My ears were on fire and my eyes were swollen shut. I got up, took some benedry - I took 1 so i wouldn't fall asleep so I could get Nicholas to school.

After taking him, i took another benedryl and slept 8-1 pm!!! WOW. I woke up all better.

I guess i need to start writing down what i eat. This is the 3rd time this week that something has been puffy. The other 2 times were my lips again....

Any ideas?

sigh..

That's what happens to me if I take any aspirin products which include ibuprofen. Except for me, my throat also becomes itchy and constricted. It may be a food allergy, but also could be a medication allergy. I hope you figure it out quickly. Allergic reactions tend to get worse each time. Good thinking on the benedryl. It's a life saver.

You need to keep a journal. It could be a combination of things.

Wow, that is pretty scary. You doing ok now?

[iloveflipflops]

Yep I am good now. Now that I am writing everything I eat, its not happening. ha

I would keep a journal for sure. Maybe that will help you start to see what you need to stay away from.
