Re: New member question

Glad you found us Anne. As Linda says, side effects can linger but this could be something else going on. It seems that SEs would be dwindling by now. Do you have Lymphedema that might explain the swelling? You really need to bring these symptoms to your doc to get answers and relief. Don't hesitate
It might help us if you completed your signature to include details of your journey
Keep the faith
