I also want to point out it gets better in 2nd trimester pregnancy and flares after birth. I also was very fit and healthy before all of this started. I get extreme reactions from medications. I tried going on Cymbalta and it helped the first few pills and then cause my body to "slow down" and even after stopping my body is extra puffy. Before I started it I was "too buzzed" and my digestion seems to have stopped (food seemed to get stuck in the upper digestion but would fly out at the bottom)
I had a bunch of major stressors in my life before this happened too - got laid off, had a baby, went back to school, got Graves, lost two pregnancies after 12 weeks, and then this! Which won't go away!

I know these post are a little old, but I wanted to share this with you in case you may still be searching for your answer. You should look up rheumatoid arthritis. Ps it doesn't always show up in your blood test didn't learn that myself until I came across a doctor who was actually concerned because just like you all I had suffered with the same thing for years undiagnosed. The fatigue, weight gain, swelling, pain not sleeping well and sometimes mild flu like symptoms low-grade fevers under 100. These symptoms lasting for weeks some times months. Stay strong because it may take a while to get the diagnosis as it was for myself keep a log ladies from the time you get out of bed to the time you go back to bed of everything the when the how's and the whats. You may also what to try going to a rheumatologist. And keep in mind this may not be your diagnosis as I am no doctor by far

Fish oil may be the case. Does anyone take fish oil? I started to take fish oil for almost two weeks and that is when I noticed the major swelling throughout my body. I stopped taking it and the swelling has gone away.

I have the same issue. My doctors feel it related to a auto immune disease and a connective tissue disease that is yet to be diagnosed.Every day I wake swollen, moderate hand numbness, joint pain and my tissues are swollen.My face swelling is the most noticeable. It's even a little difficult to breath out my nose. My labs are within normal range. I do have factor 5 lieden, avascular necrosis,fibromyalgia,depression and anxiety. This has increased over 2 years leaving me with peripheral neuropathy in both the arms and legs. That can't be reversed. I am on percocet and did my own research to see what the compounds are. That alone is probably making this worse but not the root cause because it was present before I started taking them. I recommend taking pictures to document any symptoms. Show the pictures to your md. A rheumatologist is my main doctor who has helped me the most

I have identical symptoms. They diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and I tried prednisone - which helped with the pain and tiredness- but how that I am done with the few weeks of pred, nothing has changed. Swelling is horrible. Did you ever find an answer?

I have been having these problems also, even my lips are swelling. I've noticed it after I consume some dairy soy and alcohol, I have had full allergy tests.on these and came up negative, maybe there is a new preservative in the food. Ugh, I notice when I cut those things out I don't get the swelling and my body reduces the extra weight gain. It is so hard to say no to wine and cheese lol but I'm freaking out on the swelling
