Clinical narrative: 9/4/2021 went to urgent care. 9/8/2021 Lip swelling seen in office Pt asked to come in to discuss, had sent numerous web encounters (multiple calls were made to pt to come in) and web encounters are below which were of concern for possible allergy/new meds, multiple symptoms. Hi Dr, I went to see my Uro/Gyn this morning. They wanted to put me on Estradiol but were detained because of my liver enzyme report that popped up from 2020.I told Dr that my levels had normalized since then but she said that system required them to see lab work proving that. I told her that you had just taken blood work so could you please send to Dr?  Thank you! I wanted to give you an update. I didn't go to the ER because a couple of EDS friends shared that they get the symptoms that I was experiencing and said that the hospital would just stabilize me and send me to see a specialist. More specifically a neurosurgeon so I decided to go that route since it was on my list of to do's that you and I discussed anyway. I took 3 ibuprofen and was able to sleep. I also had to take Benadryl because the arm where I got the covid vaccine started itching because of a rash. I looked it up and found that this can happen sometimes 5 days  after getting vaccine. I will keep you updated. Thank you:) Called clinic-Left message for Dr 9293734480-no call back, as per receptionist no documentation of reaction to covid pos lip swelling on Sat.
