Thanks everyone,
you are all so nice to me an I do really appreciate it.

Yes I am taking potassium because am taking the water pills. I just don't understand why everything else isn't swollen anymore and my ankles are huge. i wrapped them with ace bandages till just now, not too tight but just snug enough to stay on.

My dad was thinking that if I do call the doc. on monday about it asking if should get support hose or something like that? I don't know anything about that kind of stuff. I have never ever had this problem before except after a surgery my ankle was swollen but not this size.

I was thinking if it was just one ankle it could be a blood clot of some kind but it's both and my dad looked at them and said they look so painful, they aren't though. My toes are a little sore but other than that ok.

So I only slept about 2 hours. Yeah it's only about 3am but I am wide awake and I don't think am going to take anymore of those sleeping pills till tonight, not feeling the best right now anyways. The headaches get pretty bad in the morning and so i just try and lay with ice over my eyes. I tried that this morning and I couldn't lay still so I got up and now am on here.

You are right, i have to take things little by little. The reason i brought up the job thing is because my mom and I were talking about it Friday and when I met with my therapist I told her I wanted to get a job, but she doesn't think that mentally I could handle one right now and now physically i can't hardly walk...what a mess I am...a wreak. I let myself know that with my self-talk, but my step-mom occasionally lets me know the same thing. Maybe now that they were gone for a while things will settle down here for a while and go back to "normal" if possible for a week or two. I haven't workesd since May of last year and had to quit that job of 3 years because i was too depressed to work some days. Didn't want to get fired so I quit.

I tried the cpap again last night, and last maybe 15 min. I feel like am being sufficated with it, I never had that feeling till recently and so am not real sure about it. I have tried the other masks and couldn't stand those either, so I don't know what can be done if anything. Maybe just go without, or my specialist may have to increase the air pressure a little to make it feel a little less suffication like...don't know if any of this is making sense cause it's not in my mind.

Take care everyone, and again thanks for all the support and advice I do really appreciate it. i am really sorry if I am complaining and there is ALWAYS something wrong, nothing positive right?
Hugs,
Jen
