Good day, sorry to hear you had the encounter with the psycho at work. Lilmoma that sounds like yur drinkin too much water. For your weight try drinkin 3 24 ounce bottles of water. I'm 190# and I drink 95 ounces a day and I'm staying well hydrated.

Well between you and me...you have expanded and I have shrunk into a mummy. Isn't this stuff great fun? :( ;-)
I haven't had that particular problem but it sounds like it's common enough. Maybe when you talk to the doctor you can ask him why you are having this problem - maybe it's just retention and he can give you a diruretic to help flush the water out? I mean drinking water all day and night is the idea but if for some reason your body is holding it maybe he can prescribe a light weight water pill of some kind?
I had to use them at one point because every "month" I gainned 7 pounds of sheer water - it was HORRIBLE LOL.
Appearance? I can relate no matter how hard I try I look so bad. My mother went away for two weeks and when she came home cried downstairs for a half an hour. I guess she forgot what I looked like now - she kept asking my dad what was wrong with me when in reality I looked like I do every day now. She had just forgotten.
I didn't realize how bad I really looked until then. It's no fun. This is the week I am going to find out about a wig. She came to me the other night and said look honey I know you really don't want to but it's TIME. At least I can chop off all my hair underneath it and have a gorgeous hairstyle again you know?
You aren't alone.
Thanks, I thought he was one that lived in Tenn., and I know there are others here who live in the area/s of these tornados. I am sure more people will get and give info. My sides are not too bad; just enough to make you feel like c*ap. And, no energy today; but I am sure it will pass by tomorrow; usually does. I am just thankful my vision is back to normal. Woo Hoo. That sx was frustrating.

A wig huh? do they cost alot? I would love to know how that goes for ya. I always think of a wig falling off, or flipping around on the head, (pony-tail hanging over the nose) you know.
Let me know how the day to day stuff works out, I would like to know. Maybe you will start a new fad for all of us.

Sounds like you are retaining a lot of water. I agree that you should try less water and see what happens, at least, until you talk with your doctor about this. Also, your potassium versus sodium could be off.
Sorry to hear of the swelling. Has to be uncomfortable. I think nygirl, has the right idea. You should check with your doctor; could be an allergic reaction or just excess water retension. Hope things get better. Who needs a jerk at the end of the day. Geez some people, you know.

IMPORTANT BULLENTIN
I am not feeling well today; little chill and fever. I will be going back to bed and rest and check in later today. I did want to come in and post, to find out how many people on this forum live in Tenn., many tornados went on there and alot of devestation. If, anyone in that area, has any info on what kind of help is needed and what is needed and where can things be sent to the survivors there. I know many churches get involved; I would like to help contribute in anyway I can.
So, if anyone has any knowledge of this diaster; and or friends effected; please post some info. I am sure that there are many others besides myself, would like to do the same. I will pray that none of our friends here sustained any damage.
