I know none of us are doctors, but I need to try and stay on this drug. I will be devastated if I am taken off.
I am experiencing unexplained swelling of the eyes and fingers. I have gained about 7 pounds of water weight. My legs are not swelling. Been having it for about 10 days now. Blood Draws are done at each infusion so my last on 24 Jan was all good to include liver and kidney functions.
My MS Specialist is on the road right now and I have been told to get my butt to my Civilian PCP and have him test me for everything possible that could be causing the swelling.
So I know he wants my liver and kidney functions rechecked and also my hormones (I am Perimenopause). I am also thinking thyroid.
Do you all know of any possible causes of swelling? Anything. I plan on going in with a laundry list. I am scheduled for another infusion next Friday and I am going to be exceptionally proactive about getting approval. So if y'all can think of anything, please provide your input.
Do I sound desperate? I am!!!!!!
Thanks!
