Ankles of Doom!

I definitely have rebound edema from discontinuing the HCTZ. But I needen't have worried about my pants not fitting. My pants are fine. It's my shoes that don't fit.

Good thing it's sandal season...

Oh, man, I remember that from pregnancy. My sympathies.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but Ranj got edema while on HCTZ, but only in one ankle.

How weird is that?!

Was that after his stroke? For a years after her stroke, my sister had two different body temperatures on the two sides of her body. You could take her hands and one would be warm and the other would be cold. (then it up and cleared up for no particular reason, as things sometimes do, post-stroke)

Yeah, he had a lot of bilateral symptoms, but the swollen ankles was the weirdest one by far to look at.

He also perspired unevenly--he could be sweating freely on the non-affected side but not sweating at all on the affected side.

Oh, ouch! I get that sometimes from My Fake Disease(tm). I hope it resolves, soon. I find it so uncomfortable and painful and weird.
