Question Day 10 Another Issue

Hi all! I FINALLY slept about 6 hours last night! It felt so good to sleep after 8 days of intense insomnia. I took 6mg of Melatonin. What a life saver! Anyway, I now have edema in my legs, ankels, and hands. It's been 3 days now with the swelling...especially worse if I am up doing things. Anyone had this problem? My legs look like tree stumps. Not attractive. Thanks for your support!

10 days will be 100 days before ya know it, and please see your doctor concerning the insomnia. Congratulations.

Edema is a symptom of cirrhosis. You need to see your Dr. I had edema in my lower legs after my last relapse but I did not have cirrhosis.

See a doctor. It could be the melatonin and your liver not getting rid of it, or any number of things. Be safe! Get to a doctor!

I have not seen a Dr yet. I don't have much faith in my doctor. However, if it doesn't get better soon I will go.
