Good for you doing a birthday present to yourself..... yeah for shopping sometimes ya just got to do it! LOL So much fun to go bargain shopping... for me its been a way of life with 6 kids and now all the grandkids being born. Last week i found pj\'s for my 18mo grandson for $1 Yeahh to savin money :)
I mainly get the swelling after sleeping.. hands and feet areas too but seems to lessen as i get up and get going for the day.... i guess chasing around the grandson works good as a cure for that. Hope you find out why its happenin...HugzZz

I am not sure about hands swelling and feet? I only had this happen while being pregnant. I know that when your protein levels and elcectrolytes get out of wack, that can cause swelling as well, I would make sure you are getting enough protein in your diet
NICE, I am glad that you got yourself a bday gift, :)

I\'m glad you spoiled yourself to an outfit. You deserve it.
The swelling worries me. I wonder if it could be edema. Please have it checked out by a doctor.

Let us know about the outfit!!! I agree with Karrin that you should see a dr. Are there other symptoms with the swelling, like the hands feeling numb or cold or anything? Take care.

i got the best outfit!!! saved about 50 dollars all told. a gorgeous tank top, dressy but can be more casual, with a cream backgound and straps and a beautiful patteren of the \"new\" color for spring, a melony light orange, hard to describe, with various other colores in it. found one of those sweater things that just drape and dont close in a light weight knit or sweater material, great for spring and summer in that fantatic color of melony, oranrge and a pair of linen trousers in a light tan, which is in the tank. even a little purse, big enough for some money, liscence etc.. in that color. lyn also found what i have always wanted a pinstripe pair of trousers but with a light tan stripe, so i can mix and match. sucess!!!!! thrilled. i have gotten the swollen fingers before when walking and my feet awhile ago, it doesnt last but i dont like it. my hands were very uncomfortably sunday morning. i know what edema is but what is wrong with retainng some fluid, as i go to the bathroom a lot during the day. and drink a lot of water.

Good for you on getting a birthday gift!!! You should do that for yourself!!! The swelling...well I have that at times too, and it usually has to do with my workouts.. but I am not sure, just my .02.. Hope your night is going well

Sounds like shopping was a success. That color is called honeysuckle. It is so hot right now. I love it. It\'s so bright and cheerful I\'m sure it will make you look and feel great when you wear it!
Hope nia is better tonight. And i have no clue about the swelling but I too would suggest a quick dr visit.
