Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 I have a question for anyone out there that may have experienced this. Right now I am dealing with some sort of infection with Chrissie. I think that it is sinus. She was put on an antibiotic that resulted in a skin rash, taken off and now started on somethng different. Yesterday when she stood up, granted she did spend most of the day in her recliner, the veins in her legs looked liked they would pop right out. From the calf of her leg to just over the knee, it looked like you could just pull them out. They were bulging out. No edema at all around the ankles or anywhere else for that matter. When she lies down the veins recede. Today the same thing although not as prominent. I suspect it is something to do with b/p, but wonder if it is something that I should be concerned about. The good news is that the antibiotic has resolved the constipation problem for the moment, but resulting in stomach pain. Oh well, another day in the life of MSA. Thanks for being here.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 I've experienced something similar. Doc told me to make sure I kept up drinking water (unless I was unable to pee) and take a daily aspirin to avoid blood clots. Gentle movement and massage were helpful. As suddenly as this started it dissapeared. Just brain on the fritz. At 6/7/02 08:42 AM Friday, you wrote: I have a question for anyone out there that may have experienced this.
