I've been reading about this today for a diet I'm starting. Basically it said don't try the pills, just wear support hose. Not the kind like our grandmothers wore but the kind that look like tights. That will get your circulation going and the extra water will be expelled.
It sounds good but my fear in this is that anything clingy on my body hurts so will the hose make me hurt as much or more than the fluid. I need to try something because my wedding band doesn't fit and I feel horrible.
Good luck,
Stacey
I have found that tights or leggings in cold weather actually feel really good. They keep me warm and keep everything supported. Kind of like a hug :)
That sounds good! I need a hug every now and then. haha And I definitely need to stay warm since I have NO circulation.
Hi jdhwhite
Their are several things that can cause fluid retention. Have you spoken with your doctor yet?
Hi, I often feel like I have fluid retention but my doctor has examined me and said no. For me, I guess the feeling is just a symptom of the Fibro. I also like wearing tights or leggings underneath, they do feel really good and help keep me warm. I suggest you talk with your doctor about this. Please keep us updated on how you are doing. Hugs!
