If you look at my legs they are swelling. looking at my arms and hands it looks

like they are dehydrated. I know that I am not dehydrated. I belive my skin has

lost some of its flexibility. I am 62 but me skin looks like and 80 year olds.

I think is may be the same with moseleymand.

Hi Francis,Yes, I can feel my legs swelling up after eating normal. I do swell legs, belly etc..but yes my hands look like iam 80 and Iam 34..Elasticity isn't good, I can pull a bitof skin on my hands and it tents for ages.Skin on my face when I smile goes into lots of tiny little line all over ..like crepe paper and very thin, pale..I also suffer itching of skin, change in feeling it going tight suddenly.If I've been to gym after sweating face is very small hollow, skin no moisture.Skin upsets me aswell :) Sent using BlackBerry® from OrangeDate: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:28:38 -0000To: <hyperaldosteronism >Subject: Re: Conn's syndrome and spirolactine If you look at my legs they are swelling. looking at my arms and hands it looks like they are dehydrated.

Do you suffer reflux with pa? I either get it after eating normal but at other times eating normal I don't.Same with sister. This is what makes me wonder about cushings if cycling.

Also, if I just drink water after eating normal iam a lot more swollen. If I drink tea I'm not as swollen but start to feel more anxious..Maybe again, salt + water swelling moreTea flushing out salt ? And more potassium. normally feel so hungover/ tiered not really hungry and I then end up eating just protein and veg.so this also lowering potassium lower still potassium = anxiety, clench jaws, ears ringing....Sent using BlackBerry® from OrangeDate: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:28:38 -0000To: <hyperaldosteronism >Subject: Re: Conn's syndrome and spirolactine If you look at my legs they are swelling. looking at my arms and hands it looks like they are dehydrated.

mostly from having too much fat in belly which pushes stomach into chest.But we need to have a good reflux question set. Some BP meds interfere with the gastroesop muscle.sphincter.Do you suffer reflux with pa? I either get it after eating normal but at other times eating normal I don't.Same with sister.

Put this under your skin problems and number each one.Hi Francis,Yes, I can feel my legs swelling up after eating normal. I do swell legs, belly etc..but yes my hands look like iam 80 and Iam 34..Elasticity isn't good, I can pull a bitof skin on my hands and it tents for ages.Skin on my face when I smile goes into lots of tiny little line all over ..like crepe paper and very thin, pale..I also suffer itching of skin, change in feeling it going tight suddenly.If I've been to gym after sweating face is very small hollow, skin no moisture.Skin upsets me aswell :) Sent using BlackBerry® from OrangeFrom: "Francis Bill SUSPECTED PA" <georgewbill>Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:28:38 -0000To: <hyperaldosteronism >Subject: Re: Conn's syndrome and spirolactine If you look at my legs they are swelling. looking at my arms and hands it looks like they are dehydrated.

Read my lips: salt = swelling no salt no swelling.Not at the same time. (Before dashing, I was using salt on my diet - not when cut it out)This is before:If on diet I'm more dehydrated. If I've eaten normall I'm puffy and swollen.

Makes sense. I get it also off of my diet but then there are time I don't when iam off the diet.Maybe it depends what I've eaten off my diet. If I've just had chocolate or a lot more bread/salty foods.When this first started and I'd seen homeopath. If I came off the diet I was much worse but I think it was because she said I musnt have any caffeine.So, I'd have the salt just drink water all day.The last two years I've gone back to drinking black tea (can't drink much with milk) as I do feel some relief of symptoms but new symptoms from doing so.I can't drink coffee I tremble, manic and can feel a massive fatigue, angry emotional etc. as it wears off! Also, with chocolate my face looks better (weakness) but then I have a crash type feeling..maybe its the caffine.Sent using BlackBerry® from OrangeDate: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:41:55 -0500To: <hyperaldosteronism >Subject: Re: Re: Conn's syndrome and spirolactine mostly from having too much fat in belly which pushes stomach into chest.But we need to have a good reflux question set.
