Your symptoms can be very serious. I recommend you see a doctor.
Thanks, Alera. I did call my Dr on this but it comes and goes. Kind of hard to see him when it's not there, so I guess I put it off. Of course, I do know that no one here is a Dr. Guess I'm just looking for others input into what has happened in their drinking careers, so to speak.
For me, I elevate my foot and it goes down. No doubt I need to address this.
