thank you for your reply , my symptoms started with instant red,heated, type of rash across the cheeks , nose,and neck, along with my fingers appearing to have red swollen appearance across them, with palpatations. they thought i was having an allergic reaction and gave me benadryl. next day ,went to my dr he put me on prednisone, making it worse. i was currently taking prozac, for panic attacks/depression as it seems to run in my family. after that i was rxed benadryl,i had a drunk feeling when i took it,not good.i was sent to an allergist who really went to bat for me. my symptoms were the flushing along w/ terrible muscle aches,shortness of breath and of course anxiety, and vision, sinus issues.he did a whole slew of tests incl a mri w/ opticals, lupus,lymes,thyroid and scratch tests, all came back neg. i was instructed to try to go off the prozac as it could be the problem within a week i was crying like a river. i was referred to an angioademist for the swelling. she said it was not angioadema,also she did a challenge to but me back on the prozac,i really seemed to need it. i was in the er here and there, over the next few months,even on christmas day. my symptoms were out of the blue,puffy face, hands and feet, short of breath w/panic,gradually a new symptom of numbness down my arms, and on the left side of my face,w/ a fluttering type sensation started also, at the er they said i should see a neuro,they addmitted me for observation at the hosp i kept waking up short of breath in the middle of the night. i never actually saw the neuro, but the dr said it could be some kind of sympathic thing.after seeing my own neuro, he ran an mra of arteries and had a doppler done, all neg he called it a sympathic phenomenon. possibly fibromyalgia. my stomach was keeping me up at night so my dr thought it could be acid reflux, i had a test done and found out i had moderate gerd. i went to see a gastro dr , he ordered a gallbladder func study, mine was not functiong,so i had it removed. i thought that i would feel alot beteer after surgery, the surgeon said that could cause all kinds of symptoms. no such luck. i was still up at night, belching terribly,along w/ my other symptoms.i went to a rheumetologist(all along thinking lupus),seeking for help w/ fibromyalgia. she said no way, you don't have it because of your swelling. in the mean time i was on and off 7 different anti depressants trying to find one i didn't have a reaction to.i was loosing my mind.my symptoms today are chest pains, intermittent puffiness in face , hands and feet,palpitations,floaters in eyes,loss of concentration,memory problems, being in a fog , anxiety, crying spells,temper flare ups, pain in neck,jaw and face, horrible migranes, and indegestion,sour stomach,bad breath, skin dryness and raised patches all over my body, bad perspiration.
