Re: My worst flare to date/update

March 1, 2008

I am still wearing the tens unit, have been using it off and on all

day; the swelling is down significantly (lots of water and 2

bumex...lol) and I got my lasix refilled and will take that starting

tomorrow. I know I will " crash " when I finally relax; I did doze off

while getting my hair done (which looks smashing btw, I love my

hairdresser!). I will be calling any and all of my docs on

Monday......something has to give. I know that Lyrica can cause

swelling as a side effect *however* I have had swollen lower

extremities for years now, so it's not the med. What's that saying -

if it's not one thing, its another???

((((hugs to all; thank you for your concern!!)))
