The summer normally exacerbates the edema and its varying symptoms. This summer has been a bit difficult since it was so humid. The dehumidifiers help some but the medication is still the best thing to get rid of the fluid and its accompanying symptoms. I have been using Epsom salts in my bath at night. I would love to put in enough to make it like the dead sea. ;-) Getting a massage therapist who understands how to gently work the lymph nodes and doing exercises to rid the body of excess fluid is helpful as well. Here's hoping for a dry nice fall season. Please post your concerns or symptoms so others can benefit from your stories.
