ever wake up with a different face?
My body, at 36, has evidently decided to become allergic to something. Things progressed from having hives Tuesday morning to becoming Mr. Balloon Head this morning. :puffpiece: I literally didn't recognize myself in the mirror. Steroid shot in the hip helped. :eyes:

The doc thinks it's either shellfish or red wine. I'm gonna be pissed if it's either one...

1. I had it happen from eating Chinese food........
Shrimp Chow Mein....must have had a lot of MSG too. I had redness, itching and hives even on the palms of my hands. I tried all the creams and ointments but nothing helped it kept spreading. The skin Dr. gave me a shot and some other meds. Funny thing is I never got it again from shrimp...I avoid the Chinese food with shell fish & the place where it came from. An allergist could test you.

If it's the red wine, guess I'll have to stick to whiskey. :evilgrin:
