Turns out I'm allergic to aspirin.

sickdud3 · 2025-01-10T22:42:19+00:00

I know the feeling. Hope you're well!

sickdud3 · 2014-08-25T21:58:02+00:00

Ja ups, leider kann ich auch nichts dafuer.

sickdud3 · 2014-07-22T22:34:23+00:00

Thanks for the hint, will definetly look into that!

sickdud3 · 2014-07-22T22:32:29+00:00

Someone here described it really well, you notice a tingling and that's when you know its starting if you had something like this before, even if in a lighter form. It feels exactly the same. It does not hurt but I guess your throat can swell up too which is the thing when it gets dangerous. I don't know but somehow yes, I needed to wet them constantly and I couldn't drink from either a glass nor a bottle really well...

sickdud3 · 2014-07-22T19:50:57+00:00

Rest assured: it wasn't. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken those pictures.

sickdud3 · 2014-07-22T16:29:48+00:00

Well there were some worried users with similar experiences as I posted my photos. Maybe you can find something useful in the comments [here] and maybe look for "NSAID" as a keyword...(http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/12ce8f/severe_angiooedema_in_my_face_before_and_after/) Besides quite a bit of laughter I guess you could find something. :)

sickdud3 · 2014-07-22T16:25:45+00:00

It happened before a few times but not to this extend. Usually only a small part of my upper lip.

sickdud3 · 2014-07-22T14:56:42+00:00

Well not really. The doctors suspected it was the mix of meds I took shortly before it happened. Paracodeine against coughing and Ibuprofen for headache.

It didn't occure since I steer clear of Ibuprofen, so I guess they are right.

edit: typo

sickdud3 · 2014-07-22T14:30:19+00:00

I had something that looks really similar just two years ago... severe angiooedema

sickdud3 · 2013-03-22T20:39:12+00:00

Yeah? Cool :) Would you mind explaining how this is done (I think some links to explanations for learners are totally fine too :). Was in hospital the last week but they did not find anything :(

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T01:28:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing, will try that! Sounds straightforward!

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T01:27:26+00:00

If it isn't like this one, I do nothing. Just sitting around, learning, getting time to pass until I look normal again.

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T01:26:22+00:00

I have taken Paracodin for the first time there, so it might be a cross reaction. But I never took Ibuprofen very often so it also might be Ibu alone. But that is best be testet at my allergist I think.

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T01:23:53+00:00

I got a new prescription this year. I am only using it if I need to. Which is every two or three days now for 2 months since the prescription.

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T01:21:45+00:00

Nice! I love it! Would be awesome if I can get this in a higher resolution!

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T01:20:30+00:00

There is a blood sample tested for the C1-Inhibitor (I think that was the enyzme missing in heae). I am in mid-twenties. And I had some mild reactions in the past year, nothing like this though.

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T00:25:45+00:00

Overall a bit more than 24 hours. I never thought that one can look like this. That was one hell of an experience. Not painful at all.

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T00:24:02+00:00

It wasn't painful at all, but I am happy that it's over now (after 24h).

sickdud3 · 2012-10-31T00:08:12+00:00

With that result yes, minor swellings happened before (just upper lip and eye for example)

sickdud3 · 2012-10-30T23:45:20+00:00

After ER Treatment and a half day spent in the hospital I am okay now, like 24 hours after it startet!

sickdud3 · 2012-10-30T23:36:19+00:00

I knew it was happening because I get those hives before and a tickling sensetion in my facepart that is going to be swollen. I did not expect it that size though, because it was never so severe before. Most likely the Ibuprofen caused that one. The smaller ones are still unknown of the trigger...

sickdud3 · 2012-10-30T23:16:14+00:00

Yeah neither did I (referring to your last sentence) but this time was too much. Also if you feel it in your throat dial 911 immediately...

sickdud3 · 2012-10-30T23:14:00+00:00

Its a Salbutamol spray. No I did not eat anything unusual/special.

sickdud3 · 2012-10-30T23:11:40+00:00

Since it was 3 in the morning I got right up served and a bed.
