Anybody seen my smile?

My smile has disappeared, and it's not because I'm sad or in a bad mood, it's cause it physically hurts to smile right now!  Don't laugh! If you laugh I start to laugh and then my lips hurt real bad....crap! don't quote Napolean Dynamite when your lips hurt cause it just causes more pain.  At this point you are prolly wondering "how in the world did you do this to yourself?! ... crazy!".  Well, I'll tell ya...

This past Sunday I was going out in the morning and decided to put on some lipstick that I haven't used in awhile.  It's the sort of lipstick where you put on the color and then follow with a sort of clear chapsticky stuff to help the lipstick stay on all day.  Reminder! this is not my first time using this.  So I go about my business and drive into town and as I'm standing in a store talking to people I realize my upper lip starts to feel tinglely and puffy ... like I've given myself a fat lip somehow.  I stay in the store and remain talking for about an hour or so, but when I get back to my truck I look in the mirror and realize my upper lip looks like it got punched!  Nothing is helping the pain ... Burts Bees, water, ice cream, nothing.  Sigh.  I do some research and am advised by some sites that I should use Blistex at night and Vaseline during the day. 

I went to work yesterday and in looking at me, you can't tell anything is wrong, but man, I could tell.  People kept making me laugh or smile and it hurt! REAL BAD! mur

Today my lips still hurt.  Actually it's more my upper lip, but I have to take little itty bitty bites of food cause it hurts to open my mouth.  I'm drinking all my coffee and water through straws and I'm constantly applying vaseline to my lips. 

Okay, so I just thought of another way to describe this pain.  It feels like when your lips get severely chapped from being out in the cold cold icy wind all day and you forgot to put chapstick on them.  When the day is over your lips are in so much pain.  That's what it feels like.

Anybody have any home remedies or tricks to help?  If after a few more days of no relief I will go see my doctor, but for now I want to see if the blistex and vaseline will help/do the trick.
