Never had this happen before! Woke up to get ready for school and felt that my lip was swollen. Look in the mirror, and sure enough, my upper lip is about twice its normal size. I've never had that happen before! When I tried standing up for more than 10 seconds to brush my teeth, I felt so overcome with dizziness and nausea that I had to sit on the (covered) toilet with my head in my hands. Also have post nasal drip like you wouldn't believe.
Woke up FH, texted work friend to ask her to watch the kids I have coming to work with me before school (ain't no way I'm calling 23 homes like this), and now waiting for my doctor to open.
This IS a severe allergic reaction, right? I don't know what it could be to!!!!
Fingers crossed. . .at least this isn't happening a day before the wedding, right?
UPDATE: Doc thinks it was a bug bite allergy--thinks that the bug must have bit me near or around the mouth as I slept (EWW EWW EWW). Benedryl for 24 hours, if that doesn't work, then add a prescrip steroid to it. Can already see a difference in the swelling. Scary there, wasn't it?

I normally don't eat that much, either! It was one of those weird Mondays where we wound up eating more than we should have. I need to eat more low key things!
