Compression prevents accumulation of fluid (swelling). Hence the

girdle, tight clothes.

Nope. I am all for the cheap stuff. Personally, I just went back

to regular Centrums immediately. I hated the taste of chewables,

ugh! I love Gummie Vites, but they are missing a few vitamins.

They are also very expensive. Since they are childrens, you do have

to eat two instead of one. Yum!

yours if this would help. Good luck dear, Melt

Swelling

I want to ask about swelling. After two months of doing very well,

I'm puffed up like crazy! Can barely fit into my shoes, can't hold

things in my hands. I am on Enbrel, MTX and Celebrex. What do you

guys do when you swell up like this?
