Planned to run 7 but I only made it 5.9 at PMP+1:30. Still 8.6 pounds higher than normal and it has accumulated in my lower legs making them ugly and the skin tight. I am going to put my feet up more tomorrow and drink enough water to fill a lake. Last night I slept with my legs elevated; nothing changed. My head is hurting and I feel horrible. Yuck!

Oh my gosh, Lulu! Have you been to a Doctor? Please please get in ASAP! Food allergy? Dallen on the blog is a Doctor. I'm going to sic him on you if you don't get to the Dr. pronto!

Lulu, are you all right? That really sounds like an unusual response to a food allergy. Swelling is one thing, but in the legs? I know you know your body, so just be careful, and feel better soon!

Food sensitivity, not allergy. Dr. Elson Haas has written about it in several of his books. Docs I have visited have attributed this problem to hormones. However, I keep a log on my weight so I know if I am getting dehydrated. There is no pattern. I had this problem earlier this year in June or July too where I gained 10 pounds in about two or three days and lost it all in one day. I recently, as in last week, had my thyroid tested, and it is normal. One of my docs routinely test TSH every five years. So, I'm not going to the doctor, so you can sic Dallen on me. I'd like to hear what he has to say.
