Can hormones cause pitting edema? I have it on both of my legs. Some days it is better than others and some days it is not there at all. But I just seem to retain so much water. My rings are right, etc.

I can't stand all these symptoms. This has to be the worst thing I have ever gone through in my life. UGH mad.gif

AWTY, my legs swell if I've sat too long at my computer;
accompanied by some pitting, too, which I find unsettling.
Thing is, when this does occur, it is gone by morning--after having slept.
(I comfort myself by thinking it is positional and it is both legs;
If it was just one leg, I would then consider circulatory issues
and a visit to the doctor. Eventually.) (I don't doctor much)

and yes...it does seem that symptoms ARE plentiful.
Crappy has become one of my favorite words--one, at least,
I seem to be able to remember wink.gif

Yes, mine are in both legs too and I do spend alot of time on the computer, I have tried to increase my water consumption and I bought dandelion tea to my routine. It seems to be helping some. UGH, are we going to make it through this? Yuck! What a ride this has been.
