edema?

I have had CFS for years, but now am experiencing edema in hands, feet, belly and around eyes.  It is worst in the morning.  Is there any connection between CFS and edema?  thanks Karen

I agree with patsy10.  I had Edema for years and years, even though my doctor didn't know why any better than I did.  I did have a weight issue for a number of years, but I had Edema when I was just a kid who didn't hae a weight issue.  Then, a little over a year and a half ago I was hospitalized with renal failure.  No one is sure why my kidneys failed or why I was dehydrated, since I'm always carrying my water around, plus I lost a lot of weight which should've helped.  No one is sure why my electrolytes were off at the time either.  I don't know if this is connected with FMS/CFS or not, but I suspect it could be.

I would have this evaluated by your doctor to make sure it is not something else.
