ive had swollen lips ever since i was a kid, and today i talked to...yet another doc (a long time familiy friend) that is thinking that i might have to cut out a huge chunk of my lip...ie the saliva glands causing the prob.

her theory is that there are several...err, i dont know the term for it, but basically saliva glands that have been traumatized and their ducts have become semi-blocked. not enough to make em just grow and pop, but they just ooze out saliva like that, which also explains why my lips have always been swollen.

first biopsy i had caused a "real one" of these. a round ball about 1cm in radius at the top of my lip that grew and popped over a week or so, had it removed yesterday...having your lip cut bloody hurts >_<
