B.B., I've taken permax for 3+ years and have never noticed that my feet are swollen any more then they are after a long day [minimal] I know little about similar drugs but I do have a brief story that you may find useful. A 50+ year old woman reported to our support group that after about 3 months on the drug @ .25 mgs X 7 a day that she developed a severe swelling in her left legand foot only. When she reduced the tablets to 3 a day[this ts a lot?] the swelling was reduced considerably but not totally.An Ultrasound revealed nothing helpful. One other thing I noticed during group was that she kept her left leg off the ground almost at knee level. She accounted for this by noting her increased rigidity but didn't know why she had only displayed it this week although this was her third group/post swelling. I will encourge her to use it as a reason to get a professional foot rub each week for two months. Dont know how the above can be helpful to you but you never know which puzzle piece you may turn over MY BEST george what a beautiful Morning from Oklahoma There's a bright golden haze on the meadow There's a bright golden haze on the meadow The corn is as high as an elephant's eye And it looks like it's climbing right up to the sky O what a beautiful morning, O what a beautiful day I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way ----------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask]
