Re: Fluid retention and swelling - for Sue

November 13, 2005

Thanks Sue,

It is good to know what other people are experiencing even if it is

not exactly the same. This fluid retention seems to be soemthing

else besides my RA. I think maybe I need to talk to my doctor and

see if something else is going on (just my luck) besides the RA and

Sjogren's. Thanks for responding. I do appreciate it. By the way,

my ankles are definitely the worst as far as swelling goes, but my

calves are bad too.

Hugs,

Tracie
