GingerA Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 OMG! I have had a bad time with symptoms for the last two days but this morning I am so swollen I can't wear any of my clothes! Not even the sweats! I don't have a scale so I'm not sure how many pounds of fluid this is but what's up with this?I have had small swelling before but nothing like this!

ramakentesh Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Not good. Do you get the swelling from pooling or from florinef? If its the later it should be when you feel better generally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerA Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm not on any med so it must be pooling. It has gone down some now. I'm just tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 darn. Hope it improves. At least you can see there is a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jangle Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Sorry to hear that, I remember reading a study from Stewart that low flow POTS seems to respond well to vitamin C. Although in the study they used an IV form of it that's more bioavailable there might be some benefit with vitamin C supplements.Hope the swelling diminishes, also is the fatigue from chronic fatigue syndrome or something you're experiencing now?

GingerA Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 The fatigue I was told was from the POTS but I have a terrible time finding doctors to help me here so I'm not sure what else may be going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
