Does Anyone sort of swell?

5 Replies

hi I am hypo (but not greatly so I understand!) But I seem to swell up some days,does any else have this? It's really more around the torso,bra tighter at the back sort of thing. It's not pitting,then on other days it doesn't seem to be there at all. Any clues? Thanks

I've been like that for years and years. I spoke to a doctor about it over thirty years ago and got the brush off and have just put up with it ever since. I have no absolutely no idea why it is but one day I will get up and my chest - well it must be my back really - just seems to expand and the band (not the cups) of my bra is really tight - then it goes back to normal again next day. I have now got some of those 'bra expander' things you can buy in haberdasher's departments and I use them until I feel normal again.
