These are maintained by essential fatty acids, anti-oxidants,
and Vit C.
Also poor lymphatic drainage, or thick serum from MGUS type problems can cause it.
Swelling in the legs also can signal low B1 (thiamine status).
So Benfotiamine may be an idea for you.
Beri-Beri is not identified in US commonly, but it lurks here anyway.

I am currently using Best Benfotiamine 150mg's twice a day.
For the past three years, to control the swelling/edema, take one 25mg Spironolactone and one 40mg Furosemide daily.
We will definitely get off our daily multi-vitamin that contains Iron. Thank you so much. I had never heard about the iron being a problem for seniors.
