Hi Yummy,

Inflammation and edema are chronic symptoms to fibromyalgia, my edema is mostly attributed to liver disease. I would suggest a complete blood work up, have your liver and kidney function tested, reduce salt from your diet, no soda, limit caffeine and elevate your feet [higher than your heart] as much as you possibly can. Try to stay off your feet.

And make that appointment as soon as you can.

Best wishes,

Sharon

Yes deffo show this to. g.p. Are you still having monthly cycles? Maybe ask ladies over on another sight on here, go on My Hub and look for endometriosis sight,ladies on there might guide you too.

Hello

I suffer swelling on my body that is very noticeable. I now take a water tablet from the doctors and it makes a massive difference.

I use to take over the counter ones but they don’t work!

Maybe speak to GP as you can definitely get something to help you xx

Hi YummyMummyTo3

😊🌿🌸🦋

It is common for women to bloat gain weight or have some swelling with monthly cycles.

What you’re describing is more than that.

Better to be safe than sorry and see your GP to try and find the solution.

If it continues after no solution from simple blood tests keep pressing the doctors for answers.

You have 3 little ones who need their mum healthy as can be. Plus you don’t want to suffer this needlessly.

Best wishes for answers and a cure.

Love 💗 hugs 🤗 and prayers 🙏 my friend.
