Last week Thu and Fri I again had to take a couple Benadryl, but this time in the afternoon. Fortunately haven't had any problems at night.
I have NO idea what could be the cause. I haven't bought any new clothes, brought nothing new in the house, am eating what I always ate ... just can't figure it out.
I'm beginning to think that it really might be stress related. My mouth felt weird quite a few times, had a lot of stress being censored again by a totally corrupt judge and had other litigation issues to deal with. But aside from last week, I didn't feel that I needed to take any meds.
A few hours after posting the other night I went to bed and promptly had a major "swollen tongue attack. Didn't get to sleep till morning. Two Benadryls did NOTHING.
A Swollen tongue can be treated at home with a simple remedy of a liquid solution of turmeric and water used to gargle at least twice a day. This has proved to be particularly helpful in reducing the inflammation.
I tried that yesterday morning and I felt well enough to go to town a few hours later. I have a pound of turmeric I was going to use it for color in the lime coat of my adobe addition because I accidentally didn't order the organic turmeric. The way things are going, I might not have any left for building.
There's a lot of info including taking vitamin supplements, but here's something I can do because I have it at home:
3. Sometimes taking 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar taken twice a day will reduce the incidence of swollen tongue by reducing the inflammation that the body is reacting against.
I still have no idea what's causing this, I eat the same food as always and there are no new environmental factors. But I've had a lot of stress again with court filings, my Trans Union credit report and of course doctor "CENSORED" and her scumbag attorney Irving Johnson. I made a point of ignoring a number of filings that I didn't have to respond to and I just read them on Tuesday along with doctor "CENSORED"s filings.
While in town yesterday, I went to one of the walk-in clinics, but they had closed early and most likely, it would have been a waste of money anyway. After my experiences with doctor "CENSORED", I really don't feel like seeing a doctor unless I absolutely have to.
Of course I also don't want to wake up dead because I can't breathe. It sure would be nice to have something better than Benadryl that works quickly. After all, it's an hour drive to the hospital and I can't hold my breath that long.
Turmeric PASTE is working much better than gargling and it's a LOT less messy.
It's been an almost daily crisis last week. More litigation stress with doctor [CENSORED] when they scheduled a hearing for this week after I had advised in writing that I can't drive to Colorado until after 9/7.
So I take the vinegar / baking soda and I have a little jar with turmeric paste that I can even put in my purse. The jar also has a little broken off wooden "spoon".
Turmeric definitely helps get the swelling down and I take a little every few hours. Someone recently mentioned that it is "poison" and of course you don't want to eat it by the pound, but there are many benefits -- search the web for "turmeric benefits".
