It looks like you could put a needle in her and inflate her. She has always been a thin person. Doctors are not doing anything, it is as if they don't see the fluid build up all over her body. Ankles swollen, legs, hands, her whole body. I think she may be on new medicine for headaches, and pain in back.

Hello Brenda,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately we only have a few doctors on the depression site who can answer questions. Also we are currently working on making it more clear that it is illegal to diagnose problems over the internet. This is completely our fault for not making that clear to you when you asked the question. The Q&A section is very new and was just started when you asked your question. We have come a long way with it but it is still not perfect and we are working hard here to make it run more smoothly and efficiently.
Thankyou for your question
Sorry again about the delay in getting back to you.
