Oadema - consistent swelling in both of legs that also causes pain and discomfort when walking.
Pins & Needles in both hands and elbow pain. Pins & needles quite pronounced when trying to grip anything tightly
Quite considerable weight gain despite no increase in appetite.
Total exhaustion and consistently broken sleep.
Now, to be honest, despite the poor liver function that finally convinced me to stop drinking, I actually felt much healthiier and was considerablly more mobile whilst I was drinking!
I have visited my GP numerous times and he has reduced my blood pressure tablets and also started me on water tablets and compression stockings. Despite this I am still suffering the same symptoms.
I was a heavy drinker for over 25 years so I know I have a lot of damage to try and undo, if possible, but I would like to think that I will start feeling far more positive and healthy for not drinking sometime soon.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? ANy experience of similar? Should I just keep going back to my GP until the 'issues' are resolved?
Any advice, comments would be greatly appreciated.
