Answer: Hi Kathy, yes, sometimes I feel that way. It's not only my hands, feet, arms, and legs...but it also feels like i'm swellling on the inside...at one point, I thought it was my lymph nodes...??? It goes away for a few days and then starts again. It's crazy. Where do you feel "swollen"? =

Answer: Hi kaime I do have swollen fingers and ankles , but that is exactly what I get a feeling as if my whole body is swelling up from the inside, I can only describe it as if i were a balloon and someone was blowing me up in stages. then it stops and starts again, there is no actual swelling anywere ,when I walk to far my muscles feel like bags of sand and I have a continous weight all over my body . Do you have any of these sensations ? I have suffered this everyday for 3 years , there does not seem tobe any resbite . Do you have any good days? =

Answer: Yes, I have some good days! :) Thank God! I've noticed that this all started in late Nov. I had so much going on at that time...My son married at the beginning of Nov...big wedding! beautiful :) My mother-in-law was very ill at the time, then she passed away in Feb. My mother was ill and had to have surgery in Jan. I'm an only child, so I had to deal with my mom's sickness by myself. It is finally easing up a bit! I think I am experiencing something with my sciatic nerve also...I really need to go have it checked out! You hang in there...keep in touch! =
