Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 I have that problem too. My legs and feet are bright red right now. The doctor did alot of tests, thyroid, liver function, kidney function etc. They still haven't found a reason for the swelling. I see an internist on the 24 to get some answers. It is painful, I know. Have you gone to the doctor about it? Norma -- Hi all. I have a new problem. My husband, a nurse, says it looks like thebeginning of cellulitus. In the morning (and last night when I went to bed)my legs, from the calf down to my toes, swell up horrible and hurt when youtouch them. 1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 No haven't been to the doctor yet but I have an appointment on Tuesday 6pm. I wanted one sooner but the only doctor available is the a**hole doctor that works there. I swear, he will be in the room with you a MAX 3 minutes. And never touches you. If I were to show him my feet swollen up, he wouldn't not touch them or press on them. He would just look at them. He's a terrible doctor, only in it for the $$$ Margaret,mom to the monsters Hi all.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I am not the only Pepsi drinker in the group?? \ Hi Sophia. Well, I wish I could have listened to your advice but it's now 3:02 and I'm up. I had to pee so bad (I always wonder why, then I look at the x-large size cup I get at the convenience store, filled with ice, and bring it home and fill it with pepsi and drink it......2x.....duh. So, when I got up, I could barely walk down the stairs with my swollen feet...knew I couldn't make it back up and told my husband I wouldn't be back up again. I took my pain meds, made myself a cup of coffee, started a load of laundry, unloaded the dishwasher and cleaned a little more of my fabric room. ugh. GO TO BED MARGARET!! haha.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Yes, you ARE. I am a GUZZLING PEPSI-HOLIC! haha. I love it. They laugh at me at the convenience stores around here because, due to my low iron, I chew ice all the time so I go in, get 3 LARGE cups of ice (those little ice cubes that you get at a fountain machine) and buy a big bottle of pepsi. I chew 2 of the cups of ice and then use the 3rd for my pepsi addiction!! Margaret,mom to the monsters Re: Margaret I am not the only Pepsi drinker in the group?? \ Hi Sophia.
