Question:
THURS.MY CYCLE STARTED. I WEAR TAMPONS. FIRDAY I ATE POPCORN SHRIMP. SATURDAY, STILL USING TAMPONS-I ATE GRILLED SHRIMP. SUNDAY-STILL USING TAMPONS-I ATE MORE SHRIMP! I DIDN'T EAT ALOT OF THEM FIRDAY OR SATURADAY!! MONDAY MORNING (STILL WEARIN TAMPONS)I WAKE UP, MY FACE WAS SWOLLEN AND I HAD A RASH THAT DIDN'T ITCH ON MY LEGS,ARMS,AND FACE.I TOOK BENADRYL. THE NEXT MORNING (I STOPPED WEARIN TAMPONS)THE RASH WAS GONE, BUT MY PALMS & SOLE OF MY FEET WERE SWOLLEN.I WENT TO THE DOCTOR,THEY GAVE ME A SHOT!

Answers:
You are having an allergic reaction. Go to the ER and have them check for allergins for Toxic Shock Syndrome. it might be the shrimp but that should be out of your system by now.
GO TO THE ER IMMEDIATLY!!

Other Answers:
What ever caused it, you are in the middle of a decent little allergic reaction. Get some benedryl ASAP and you'll feel better in no time.

Don't eat so much shrimp in the future. I'm not saying that was it, but it can't be good for you.

Could be the shrimp. If you are not allergic , try taking a benadryl or antihistamine of the same, ask your pharmacist if you are not sure and if it gets worse or doesn't get any better in a day seek medical attention.

See a doctor. You have a serious reaction to something. I say again: GO SEE A DOCTOR!

it's more likely a minor allergic reaction.
the swollen palms and feet are sometimes a sign of high blood pressure. (as told by my doctor)
but if most of it has gone on it's own i wouldn't be worried. go see ur doc if it happens again..

allergic reaction

AT LEAST YOU WENT TO A DR..ID JUST LISTEN TO WHAT HE/SHE SAID
