One more thing to add to the mix. It is possible to develope an allergy to an anti-inflammatory drug even if you have been taking it all along with no problem. This happened to my Dad. One day his face and lips started swelling. That was the culprit. You might want to ask your doc if he thinks this could be an allergic reaction to the one you are taking.

Just Brief note
 

I'm feeling better this morning. Some of the fluid seems to be gone. (Bathroom a lot last night)

Have an early appt. so must go.
Thanks all,
Billye

Hi. I'm sorry for all your going through. I know I say this but have no clue but want to offer a few things. In the past I had severe edema in my ankles not from this though anyhow. I think part was because of my liver/pancreas not working correctly. So I was wondering how your liver enzymes are? I had to be placed on meds at one time and a certain diet. For edema though and ankle swelling support hose,proper fluid and elevation. The elevation when sleeping and even when sitting is very important. Good luck at the apt.

I am so glad...
 

... to read you are feeling somewhat better. I have been following this thread and have been very concerned about you. I do hope the doctor can find something to give you that will reduce the fluid retention you seem to have. Take care.:hug:

HI Billye!
That's great that you were able to get rid of some of that fluid last night......tho I'm sure it wasn't fun getting up all night! I hope you have a good dr. appt!

Billye
 

Very good to hear you are a bit better today - and hope that the doc today maybe can shed some light..... sending some strength for the car ride:hug:

Good news... I hope this will help take care of the problem, Billye.

Cathie

I hope your next post gives even better news Billye.

My thoughts are with you. :)
