TOM swelling?
Recently I've noticed that about a week before my period I get AWFUL swelling in my hands and feet, even in my face! It hurts! I chug water (and use the bathroom because of it) constantly!!
It's terrible at night. Some nights it makes it hard to sleep.
How can I fix this?

Just wanted to say hi and that it's nice to see a familiar face around here. I remember you back when I was active about a year and a half ago. You look great!
As for the swelling, I don't have much advice other than to watch your salt intake as that usually makes it worse for me.

just wanted to let you know there is a product out there called diurex over the counter, you can find it at any drugstore in the section that has midol/pamprin and all that stuff. anyway, it's a diuretic meaning it gets rid of the swelling and water retention and you urinate it all out. i work in a pharmacy and i have some patients that have the same problem as you around their period. i've heard it works! good luck!
