ooh. i had a very nice time at knitting this afternoon, but after we left, and even before we got in the car, i noticed that my upper lip was swollen. it stayed that way for hours. my bottom lip swelled up too a couple of hours later. they have both gone down somewhat now, but are both still noticeably swollen. catherine and barbara both reminded me that people pay good money to plastic surgeons for the "bee stung" look, but really, i'd rather not.

so, this started not long after I drank a glass of coke. i doubt i've developed an allergy to coca cola, so was there something on the glass?

don't know, but it's been a bit unpleasant.

it's been like the aftermath of a trip to the dentist. i've been able to eat and drink ok, except that drinking straight from a water bottle was a bit dodgy...

i wonder what it was?

That is very weird. I'd tell the doc about it just in case. (Been watching too much House). Grins.

apparently you can develop allergies at any time. Peanuts maybe?

It's probably something dodgy in the coke. My youngest son swelled up like a balloon after drinking green gatorade - whole face distorted beyond recognition. I think the technical term is urticaria, but what the heck do I know? Get it checked out if you're worried - or do a wee test and drink more coke and see what happens...
