I burned my hair out in two separate patches, accidentaly and unknowingly in the back of my head. I went about my activities with 2 bald spots - no one told me!!! They thought I was on chemotherapy. It took month to grow back.

what causes peripheral edema?
Answers: 2 Views: 1408 Rating: 0 Posted: 13 years ago

edema is caused by movement of charged particles across a membrane, carrying fluid with it. Most medications, particularly pain relievers like aleve, ibuprofen, motrin; steriods like prednisone and hormones like esttrogen cause water retention seen as peripheral edema. With age, the valves in the leg veins"give out" and with standing, columns of blood become near stagnant, and the serum separates from the red blood cells. The charged particles, sodium, etcetera worsens the valvular incompetency (inability to move blood in a given direction). Peripheral edema can be associated with hemorrhoids and varicose veins. Also, it can be a harbinger of heart failure or kidney disease. But before we go to all the awful-lies.....and

that said, support hose, decreased salt intake (increase your free water intake to dilute your body's sodium), and elevate your legs by supporting your knees while sedentary.

If you eat a typical American diet, you are on sodium overload. Check out food labels; surprise yourself with how much sodium is in Pillsbury biscuits!!!! or canned foods.
