Saturday, 4/12/25 @ approx 10am I noticed a welping rash on my abdomen & in between my breasts when I was getting dressed. My throat felt a little swollen & my voice was raspy sounding. I called (redacted) & spoke to the on call operator who said I should probobly go to the nearest Urgent Care. At approx 11am I arrived @ Urgent Care in (redacted). The doctor observed the rash had spread to my arms, back, neck. My face/throat was swollen. Lips/tongue numb & tingly. Heart rate was @ 96bpm. The doctor injested steroids & had me wait in the room for approx 15mins. During this time the nurse/doctor came to check my vitals/swelling. Because I drove myself to the Urgent Care, the doctor opted to not give me the Benadryl shot but instead prescribed 3 prescriptions that she instructed that I take 2 (Famotidine 20mg & Benadryl) right away after picking up at pharmacy. The 3rd prescription (Prednisone 20mg) I was to start taking immediately the following day & continue taking all medications as directed. If symptons worsen, to contact them. On Monday, 4/14/25 I had a routine visit scheduled with my Endocrinoligist, I saw Dr. at Endocrinology & Assoc. My rash was gone, but obvious swelling was still present. My Endoc. noted my rapid heart rate (still in 90's) & decided to make a few adjustments to my routine Blood Pressure medication (Losartan/HCTZ) & to cut the morning dose to half. She also ordered blood work, The blood results indicated several things: My Calcium was very High @ 10.7 0n a range of 8.4-10.2mg/dl. My Glucose was High @ 140 on a range of 70-110mg/dl. My T. Protein was High @ 8.3 on a scale of 6.0-7.8g/dl. Dr. requested that I repeat labs in one week. In addition, she is having me monitor & upload my BP & heart rate to her throughout the week. On Wednesday, 4/16/25 when I was getting dressed I noticed my skin appeared "blotchy". No itching or rash, just blotchy. I felt a little tired feeling but never thought much more bout it. My husband travels with his career & was out of town this week. The end of this day I came home never set our home alarm, never fed the dog, fully dressed shoes & all went to sleep on the living room sofa. I am sharing this because it was about this time that I began a strange "brain fog" I cannot explain. Friday, 4/18/25 I started experiencing my calves, ankles & feet swelling if I stood on my feet for too long. Tuesday, 4/22/25 I went for 2nd set of blood work. New results indicated Calcium had went down @10.2, still high end of range but down. My Glucose was still High @ 102 but down from the 140 week prior. However, new week results indicated a new issue. My Magnesium is now High @ 2.4 0n a scale of 1.6-2.3mg/dl. I am currently having tingling & numbness in both forearms hands/fingers. The raspy voice still there but not as bad as before. I am still experencing the swelling in calves, ankles & feet. Thankfully the brain fog is no longer there.
