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.

Hey girl ...

Seems that you and I have such similar progression. I have LOTS of edema

and am continually on a water pill. I have no idea what it is from, but I

have had since day 1 of this RA stuff. I would be interested to know if you

find another cause for it. I also have SS.

Feel better, Tracie!

Love and Prayers,
