Hello everyone, My wife is a 27 year old healthy woman, in the last three months she has had a few episodes where she has awoke in the morning to find one half of her face swollen and numb. It is clear to see her upper lip swollen, but only on one side. This is also followed by her having nausea and feeling of flu like symptoms. No energy and a loss of appetite. I beleive it may be some sort of food allergy, but she has not changed her diet, and now why all the sudden it is occuring. We do have a nine month old that she gave birth too, she has never had this before. Is is something to do with the aftermath of pregnancy...? Or are we on the same opinion it could be a food allergy..? She is going to the doctor tommorrow, and well see what they say, in the mean time I have told her take some benadryl and drink lots of H20. anyone else have this happen to them, female specific. o.O
