its long winded I’m afraid. - health issue need some help or insight?
This has happened to me probably four or five times since the beginning of this year and never before. The last episode happened as follows:
I was out shopping and suddenly my lips started really burning/stinging, they felt dead hot and when I checked them they were bright red and blotchy, my lil sis described it like I’d had red lipstick on and then been snogging (I should be so lucky eh). Anyway day 1...that continued for the rest of the day. Day 2 I get up and my lips are red and swollen…..swelling goes down by lunchtime but are still red and burning (all over). Day 3.….red patches, circles and lines start to appear on my lips, weal type patches appear under the upper arms and on thighs and one or two on my back/chest. Day 4.….everything pretty much the same except the patches on my lips turn to sores and spread to the insides of my nose L very painful and embarrassing. So this is how it continues and lasts for about 10 days (Same every time)
Anti histamines and Anti biotics do nothing at all. Steroid cream on the lips only help when its got to the infected scab stage and not before.
Along side these episodes, since they’ve began, I’ve been feeling increasingly run down, constipated, clumsy and irritable. The past few days I feel very weak, almost faint like, light headed, and very nauseous which is not relived by eating/drinking or NOT eating/drinking. I havent actually been sick (yet). But feel like I could at any second. The tiredness is extreme now, im really struggling to even open my eyes in the morning even after a succession of good nights sleep.
The doc has referred me to the immunology department at Salford royal but the appointment isn’t for another 4 weeks. Thyroid and full blood counts came back no further action required, I have to do a fast glucose one tomorrow morning.
Oh, probably not related but a lump appeared a couple of days ago under my chin, the fleshy area where you would have a double chin, stayed a couple of days but has now gone, prob just something other random.
Any help guys im going out of my mind!!
