I seem to have sprung a leak - any opinions?

I am leaking what appears to be water from my legs.

Several weeks ago I was sitting on the floor, legs out in front of me, and I felt something wet run down my lower leg. I looked at it was water. I thought a drop of water had fallen onto me - so looked up, thinking water was coming from the ceiling - nothing.

Several minutes later, same again.

After a few drops, I realised this 'water' was coming from me. From no obvious hole or scratch or anything, drops of water are pushing thru my skin (pore? hair follicle?)

It stopped and I thought 'weird' and promptly forgot about it - as you do!

However, it has happened so many times since then, and now the other leg too.

I do not want to go to the gp because it is the most odd thing to say - i am crying thru my legs!! He is going to think I have lost the plot!

So does anyone have a clue what this is?

ask for an echo. if youstart to feel any chest pain or shortness of breath then go to a and e. seriously. we didnt take peters symptons seriously and almost lost him before he was diagnosed.

and if your heart is suffering then you wont have the energy to exercise to help you loose weight.

sorry, i don't really know too much about your situation... but if they are concerned about your heart and feel it's related to your weight have they referred you to a dietician?

do they know you find it hard, especially being on the steroids etc etc?

unfortuantely a LOT of medical conditions can be eased by loss of weight (if you're very obese), but that's easier said than done and it doesn't help having an unsympathetic and patronising gp
