I know most of us are girls here, and we exerience swelling due to menstruation cycles, but what I'm experiencing is definately not this.
Whenever I drink fluids of any kind (water,juice, soup), my hands, feet and basically everywhere swells up. It's visibly noticable, and is an ongoing, everyday thing. Almost 2-3 minutes after drinking, I notice the swelling. My cheeks feel "tight" and my pants feel like they're gonna explode. I can't feel sensation from my skin properly..whenever I touch or scratch my skin, it feels desensatized. Like there's a layer of plastic film over my skin.
This is not a new symptom, I've been having this for 3 years. My face is used to be thin, but now it looks "buttery" LOL. This is definately not because of my salt intake because changing my diet does not change this. I look older than I am..
I'm definately not peeing out enough water. I need to strain to get a good flow going, but I don't have any pain while urinating..
I'm so frustrated! I feel like I'm living in some other person's body!!
I've had ultrasounds done on my bladder, urine tests, 24 hour urine tests, etc. They all came out normal.
I think it could be my small intestine since I feel the effects edema so immediately after drinking. It could also be my stomach.
