Guest guest Posted March 7, 2002 Report Share Posted March 7, 2002 This is the type of swelling I had from the use of high dose Steroids. I was told from another doctor that I looked like a " raccoon. " I agree with Laurie. A visit to the doctor's office sounds like a good choice for you too. I know it must be hard when you are taking care of your husband too, but you have to take care of self to take care of him. Hugs. Alice It concerns me that you have so much swelling. I think a doctor needs to look at you. Do you have a PCP? It isn't necessarily mito and if it is, there might be regular " normal people " solutions for it. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 12:25:00 -0600 > To: < > > Subject: Re: > > Thanks Kristie for the encouragement. > No, I am not on the cocktail.
