I have been suffering for about the last year with swollen feet (mainly right one) swollen hand (mainly my left) and my lips (mainly bottom). I felt some relief to know I'm not the only one out there with the same symptoms. I am Hispanic, 37 years old and I live in Houston, TX. I was wondering how old and what part of the US everyone lives in? Maybe there might be some common factor between us? I have been keeping a journal and pictures of every time this happens. I have found that every time I eat trail mix I start swelling in different parts of my body. I've been tested for Lupus (my doctors suggestion) it has come back negative. I have also been tested for food allergies - everything came back negative. I think it might be the perservative in the trail mix that I'm having a reaction to. I read someone else was having the same problem. If anyone has any suggestions or has found out what they are suffering from it would be helpful to know. Thank You!

Can't tell you how relieved I am to find more people that are experiencing the same thing... I also have many of these symptoms, swollen feet, swollen fingers and hands, but worse of all swollen lips. Doctors insist it's an allergy, but tests haven't confirmed it. What I have found, however, is that I become particularly prone to it if I'm sleeping less. I am somewhat of a workaholic, and I tend to work till late and even then watch TV. I often sleep at 2 or later in the morning, and always wake up at 6. The later I sleep, the more the swelling occurs. I also get swellings anywhere I put pressure on my body: Hold my arm strongly, and that part (arm) will swell. Work with a screwdriver, and the inside of my hand swells. Stand on a ladder, the underside of my feet swell. I don't drink coffee, but (certain) nuts seem to affect me, but I think that this only happens when I am sleep deprived. Maybe I become allergic when my resistance lowers due to loss of sleep??

I have been experiencing many of the above symptoms also, for maybe 6 months (I turned 25 3 months ago). Mostly hands (inc. fingers) and feet, occasionally lips and other parts (inside forearms). This is often accompanied by red blotches, although they're concentrated on my hands and forearms.
I can confidently say that its not the additives in food as I have recently changed my diet to include only fresh fruit, meat and vegetables, along with 4lts of water a day. My diet does not include ANY pre-prepared foods.
I have to admit reading the above has made me both relieved and apprehensive. Relieved that there are others that experience the same symptoms (and even hopefull there might me a cure of some sort) but also apprehensive that this maybe something I'll have to deal with for a long time to come.
It really can be debilatating - I had to take my first day today off work because the swelling in my feet make it too painful to walk!!
Hopefully someone gets to the bottom of this sometime!!

I have the same thing and we think we found out what it was...
look up Angioedema and also look up Hereditary Angioedema.
It's exactly what we all have, I'm almost certain. The side of the tongue swelling, and only in the middle of the night is when it happens. I also get the partial lip swelling and the itchy/swollen and sensitive hands and feet-and you are right, I can't walk the next day it hurts so bad! All my friends are like you're such a drama queen and it's so annoying that nobody can relate.
Get your blood tests done for hereditary angioedema: and for regular angioedema prognosis, see an ENT doc. They will give you the "cocktail" that cures it: Prednisone, pepcid AC, and benadryl and also, if your throat is swelling up, an epi-pen. These ingredients do the job every time.

Please post back and let me know! We have to figure this out

Can you tell me a little bit more about angioedema? Did you talk to your doctor about it and find out if you were suffering from it or not? Le tme know if you have a moment. Thanks!

I don't know if this helps anyone, but my lip swelling started last night (have had it once/twice before) after drinking a diet coke directly from a cup. Most of the time I drink through a straw, but can't be sure this is what caused it. I was also eating home made nachos with a new type of Dorito chip "enchilada" with fresh avocado, fat free kraft cheese & salsa. If it's food related allergy, just wondering if anyone else has been triggered by similar foods. I've had all of these foods before without swelling so may not be related. My lips did immediately swell after this meal though.

I strongly believe just like u, that being too much under stress causes this type of reaction of the lip getting swollen. Its been happening to me in a period of 11yrs but once in a while. And notice it was when I was under stress, best thing to do drink allergy meds, rest , relax, try to avoid being outside. Stay indoors tends to happen most of the time around the cold season, I notice that too. And good luck hope it has helped u with ur problem.

What is the most common reason for my bottom lip to swell? There was no itching or anything. I am not doing anything different.

Last night I woke up and found a purple semi circle under my lips, like teeth marks except that my teeth don't reach that far and it's kinda big and ugly. I feel really self conscious about it. What can I do?
