[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you on any other medications?[/quote] Yes, an anticonvulsant and atorvastatin -- I've been on both of them for over 5 years with no issues. [/quote] That was not OP responding. I’m OP, I’m on zero medications. I have seen two vascular specialists who cannot explain what is going on. The edema is somewhat disabling - even with compression socks (which increase my blood pressure uncomfortably), I can’t stand for too long, especially outside. The heat and humidity of the summer mean I can’t spend much time outside at all. If the swelling gets worse (like I skip socks for a day), it won’t go back down again at night enough for me to wear socks the next day, so I can’t really try Estrogen and stop it. Btw, Cleveland Clinic website says edema in hands and feet are a possible side effect of estrogen patch, so I think it could be a problem.[/quote]
