I'm Currently Feeling: | I get this and have done for weeks due to the excess of water and gravity taking its toll, thats why its quite normal for feet and ankles to swell. It should however be worse towards the end of the day  You need to start worrying if you get headaches, blurry vision etc. Or if the swelling spreads to hands and face as this is not normal
Hope it goes down for you. ive been living in flip flops for 5 months now as cant fit in shoes  XxxX |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yea it's pretty normal, normally occurs from the excess water retention. Its worth mentioning it to your mw at your next check up though and she may take some blood for a liver function test to check for PE. If u get itchyness or a rash aswell then phone your mw. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Normal unfortunately. Flip flops all summer although it has been hot hot hot here which has been awful (and I normally like the heat!). My fingers and arms have become more swollen over the last 3 weeks and my toes re fat!!!!!!! Fat and wrinkly, ugly, wish I could put shoes on to hide them!
Some days, when I smile, I look like Jack Nicholsons the Joker from Batman, chubby chubby cheeks!!!!
Keep an eye on the swelling though, if it gets excessive, it couldbe worth just being checked at docs. |
