the meds could be adding to it now...but when it first happened i had just had gallbladder surgery...they cut me about 10" on the right side of my abdomen i swelled up 25 lbs within a week. then it kept growing. hen a doctor said try prednisone so i did and it started to come off in buckets...then we a tapered off of it i started to swell again and then it became a cycle until the prednisone stopped taking it off and i kept growin. then i had the second surgery and it started growing back right away and hasnt stopped. i am seeing the neurologist friday, and he says he has drugs that work better as a anti inflammatory than the Mannitol i want to try. we will see after hee examines me.
i need help right away...this swelling if so fatiguing and heavy and hurts

Dubious sounds like he's on the right track with the med causing some of the problems.
