right now it hurts to type this. something weird happened last night and i have no idea what's going on with me.
when i got up i almost fell over cause i didn't realize that my ankles were swollen and the tops and bottoms of my feet hurt! wtf. made it to the bathroom and then i noticed that my wrists were swollen and hurt too! this has never happened to me before? (in treatment i thought maybe i had neurophathy but it was nothing like this!!!) called a friend who is a nurse and she was flippant and said 'oh it's that duck you had at the tai place. you're prob. just having a reaction to the msg." but like this?! she said to take a bath in epsom salt and drink lots of green tea. i took two aspirins but had to get the bottle open with my teeth! then an hour later took two benedryls. just to see what would happen? then i put ice on my wrists and that's not helping! my temp is 100..almost 101 right now. my ankeles are better than they were this morning. not so swollen. but it hurts to walk and my wrists still hurt. can't even hold the t-pot. i hve to hold it with both hands then kinda maneuver it strangly to pour the tea. and i could't barely get out of the tub! could not use my hands at all to push myself up? maybe this is a reaction to msg? has this ever happened to anybody? mikeinthedesert and i started about the same time and i know he's going through a lot of stuff so this makes me wonder if it's a side-effect of treatment? well, i'm going back to bed. hope this makes sense. just don't feel good at all. will check back in a few hours. thanks...q Posted on 11/07/09, 07:11 pm |

trapshoot asked me what the name of it is and i forgot to even ask him! he said i caught it just like you'd catch a cold virus. i was just so relieved to know that i didn't have an autoimmune manifestation from treatment!

Quasar, I would make an appt. with your Primary Care Physician ASAP. It certainly sounds like you are retaining fluid, but it's not staying where it's suppose to be, in your vascular compartment...one reason for this could be low albumin, or protein. I would get a lab work up, CBC, electrolyte pannel, and BUN/creatinine to check kidney function.
