Thanks Nora
My doctor seems to always think it is my kidneys. Yet all of my blood work and urine tests come back normal. She has no idea and neither do any doctors I have seen in the ER. The swelling gets so bad sometimes I have difficulty walking. I work out all of the time which seems to loosen things up for me a bit but it still really stinks. With the swelling and the weight gain I can't fit into anything I own unless it is track pants. It is really frustrating.
My doctor put me on diuretics but they didn't help either. What is going on with me?
