Default Hashimoto's and swelling

I have Hashimoto's (among other things) diagnosed some 15 years ago (following Interferon Alpha therapy for Hep-C--it seems the Interferon may have kicked off the Hashimoto's and other things). Anyway, I've recently had problems with my feet and lower legs swelling up 2 - 3 times normal and the doctor is having trouble finding a cause, so this post got my attention. I'd like more info, please, on edema and Hashimoto's that I could point my MD to.

Thanks!
