I've been thinking about you the past couple of weeks as I've developed some foot and leg
problems. Primarily, we are coming to the conclusion that is initiated by the connective tissue
diseases, but then worsened by the diabetes. My feet and legs are grotesquely swollen, and I am
unable to wear any shoes. The skin is so taunt that there are eruptions with water seeping out.
Last week the vessels beneath the skin began to break because of the pressure. No amount of
diuretics affects them; that is one of the telling factors that it is not most likely
circulatory. Got a clean bill of health on my heart, so that was good news especially
considering my heart history. *s* Today, we started treating the autoimmune stuff, starting
slowly until we're sure that is the cause for sure, but my anecdotal history tends to match what
is happening.

Nasty stuff. What happens in you lie on the floor or bed with your
legs up in the air, such as leaning them up against a wall? If doing
that for an hour or so resulted in some reduction of swelling, that
might help to take some of the damaging pressure off while other
remedies and diagnoses are pursued.
