My wife is having swelling in her legs since last 6 to 7 years, on and off, only in the feet and ankles, some under eye. Recently tested for multiple factors. As per tests she is low on protein (albumin below lower range), TSH highly elevated (9 and then 5+ on repeat testing). She has been on olanzapine since 7 years for schizophrenia. Now to go on another drug for thyroid which would be lifetime again, makes situation difficult. Please help me.
This edema seems to be pitting type.
