My first thought was alergic reaction when you said face swelling? My difficult child had a large mass and cysts surgically removed about 4 years ago. All of her labs have always come back normal despite this. With my difficult child I have never seen swelling in the face but do see that her thyroid is prodominant. Although surgery took place I think the mass is back and told her the last time I saw her to go have it checked out. Anyway, I realize that the ER is for emergencys but you may consider just taking her there and seeing if she can get hooked up with an Endocrinologist (Specialist). Or get a referral for Endocrine through her regular Dr. I went through the same thing prior to my difficult child leaving, Went to a Dr on call when her Dr was on vacation and had to explain the whole thing about her thyroid, I guess the surgical scar was proof enough so he gave me the lab orders and all that we needed. I know how it is to be forced to go to a doctors office that you don't care for and at times have opted to just go the ER route or Urgent care.
