OK, Sunday morning I come out in a bit of a rash. Little bit itchy, by midnight my hand is swollen and feels like a bee sting. Off to hospital we go on Monday morning. Diagnosis is an allergic reaction, prescribe some Phenergan.
Swelling of hands gets worse and worse, we are in Melbourne for DD's surgical review and we make it back to town to see the doctor at 3pm yesterday afternoon.
Diagnosis is an allergic reaction to Zantac, except I've been on that for 2 months and haven't taken any since Tuesday afternoon.
Cease Zantac and Phenergan and apply a small amount of Elocon cream.
Wake up at Midnight with half my face, ears and lips swollen up. DD asleep and no baby sitter so apply ice pack all night and head to hospital first thing.
Suggest to doctor that it may be cholestasis, he says that pregnancy can't bring on sudden liver changes and refuses to issue blood test.
Suggest preeclampsia, BP always sits at around 116/65ish. BP for the last few days has been 138/88. Dr says that BP isn't high enough to indicate PE.
Get told basically "I don''t know, go away and think about what you've touched or eaten."
I haven't done anythign different.
Heading to town in a sec to see OB, as he's generally good and will surely have some idea what's going on.
