Hello Ray,
I don't understand why the swelling is almost gone when I get out of bed. My G.P. says it's because of gravity. Well duh. He hasn't been much help. I hit the bathroom about 3 times during the night. I get most of it out. I have had an EKG and ultrasound on my heart. It is good. The neurologist says after reviewing my results it's not neuropathy. I have a collapsed L-5 to S1. I'm going to start seeing a chiropractor Monday. He does spinal therapy, decompression and a massager.
My wife is reading an article about symptoms of what Gluten does to the body. It looks like it is causing my symptoms. I do know the more liquid I drink the more they swell.
You would think with all of the modern advancements in medicine someone could figure out what is causing this.
Stay safe friend,
Conrad

Hi, Conrad

This will have to be brief. I've promised my partner we'll go shopping this afternoon, but, having just read your message, I've little choice but to send this short reply. I too have had several doctors –– not only my GP –– suggest various causes for my swelling. Each too will prose some fairly simple remedy; e.g., compression stockings, go easy on caffeine, avoid sugars, watch your gluten –– on and on. I'll try each; none has thus far proven itself to be the solution. Good luck with the chiropractor! I'll eagerly await sharing how that goes. (Whoops! My partner just phoned. She's ready for us to go shopping. I'd best scoot. Enjoy the weekend!)
