Diagnose me please :s

[purplepidjin]

I have water retention - fingers toes and ankles swollen to the point that I can feel my motor control is affected

Nausea but not vomiting

Excessive tiredness - slept all night, then a further 5 hours this morning

I'm on Venlafaxine and Microgynon, but medication long predates symptoms and I'm on a much lower dose of the Venlafaxine now.

Definitely not pregnant.

Please can someone help me? Do I need a doctor, to just get on with it and let it pass, or sleep for a few days?

GP tomorrow (urgent appt) - take a urine sample

Really?????? My head feels fine, just my body letting me down iyswim... (I'm used to my head being fucked up and my body being ok lol)

Thank you, btw

have a look at the patient info leafletwww.medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/21348/PIL/venlafaxine%20tablets/ and look under nutritional problems. it mentions water retention so it could be your venlafaxine

Thank you, alypaly. Unfortunately, the water retention predates me doing a massive wean from 225mg to 75mg per day, which took me just over a week...

Had urine test today, and there's no sign of blood, protein, sugar or dehydration. I'm booked for a blood test, and if that shows nothing (which the bastard doctor thinks it will ) then we'll look at my lifestyle. Which involves long shifts spent on my feet (work in care) and healthy eating because I'm fed up of being 2 stone overweight. The last time I ate something sweet that wasn't fruit was sometime in the middle of last week!

i still wouldnt discount it
