You should discuss with your doctor further testing. Get the full testing for angioedema... just to be on the safe side.

I have almost no signs of angiodema as far as I could tell? In fact almost the opposite as far as swelling, Everything seems to be shrinking, skin is getting more transparent and tight. As far as Lupus, I have some of the symptoms but all the rest of my blood work is normal which wouldn't be if I had Lupus.

I also read somewhere that c3 is lower due to fungus or parasite infections. Been tested for the fungus. Not sure about the parasites.

Very tired of the fight, I am scared to go to sleep due to my nightly episodes that have lasted for months now. Its like when you get really scared and your insides burn, your stomach drops and your heart is racing. I wake up sometimes 1-6 times a night with this going on in my body but nothing going on in my head. Meaning I am not scared but my body thinks so. Oh it must be getting near my bed time cause my nightly rash just showed up,
