I am heavy. I always assumed the swelling was from that as well. Guess what though? My hands no longer swell and my feet only minimally swell now since the last post I put here! My doc says a lot of it has to do with the EPA/DHA (pharmaceutical grade fish oils) that I take. It causes extracellular water to decrease and intracellular water to increase (something he tests me for at every appointment - it does keep getting better).
