thanks pat..of course i will let you know. I have tried to think of any changes in the environment but cannot come up with anthing different except being outside in the nice weather. No changes in soaps or foods. We are renovating so there is plaster dust around..i do wear a mask when working. All winter we lived with the reno with mostly closed windows..now we have more open letting in more fresh air. I have done some research on the web and on this site...and i believe it might be angioedema..with the swelling etc...caused by unknown allergen???? I do have a plan of sorts for the weekend...and i talked again to my pharmacist looking for any of my drugs that might cause the symptoms or a photosensitivity and the only thing we came up with was stopping my ramipril (preventive only) as it can rarely cause angioedema which has symptoms similar to mine. I do hope that whatever i find out..this will help someone else from going through the same thing. Just sharing my story with someone helps...particularly as i have not been able to tell it to my primary healthcare provider...my doctor. I would have thought after being in the ER and so sick..he would have been more willing to fit me in and to renew the prednisone...which is not a narcotic or addictive etc.
