So, Sunday morning I woke up with a big fat swollen upper lip. DH and I laughed about it, I asked him if he punched me in the mouth. He said no, but if he had he would like to remember it so at least he could feel bad about it!

I got up and walked around, and it got worse so he drove me to urgent care. While I was waiting to be seen the roof of my mouth swelled up! I went and told them and they rushed me back and gave me a shot of steroid and antihistamine. That took care of it over the next few hours.

I had made salmon for dinner the night before and didn't use anything out of the ordinary ingredients wise. The doctor said it had to be the salmon. We ate dinner late because of the tornado warnings we were having. I didn't want to start cooking in the middle of a tornado watch! So we ate dinner around 9pm and went to bed shortly thereafter. It seems like the reaction was slowed because I was lying still/sleeping but as soon as I got up and around it got worse.

So, now I have to get an epi pen to carry with me. I love seafood! I don't know how I am going to deal with not eating salmon or other fish! I am also allergic to avocado, which is fine cause it isn't everywhere, and I don't like it anyways!

Anyone else with a salmon/fish allergy?
