My fingers feel like sausages!

What's up with that? I feel like I'm really retaining water and I have been careful these last few days to really watch the salt intake. Over the weekend I really realized how much salt I consume. A light bulb went on in my head and I realized I eat way too much salt. I'm a self proclaimed salt-aholic. I love it!

Maybe I'm still retaining from the weekend? How long does it take to flush your body of salt? I am drinking lots of water to help me, but I normally drink lots of water. Should I try a water pill? It's not quite that "TOTM" for me, but maybe that's adding into this feeling. Yuck!

I find that if the relative humidity is up or I am close to my period my fingers bloat up a little - rings feel slightly snug - as for a water pill I say no but thats just MHO - your body will clear it on its own - just keep drinking the water

My fingers get that way also if it is that TOM...or if I am walking a long distance with my arms hanging down by my side...that happened to me on Sunday with my walk...I had to take my Grandmothers ring off my hand during my walk, because I was afraid I wouldn't get it off at all!!

It is back on my hand now though!

I hope they get smaller soon for you!!

Oh, I was going to suggest it was the humidity, but it couldn't be that humid up your way yet, could it? I find my fingers swell up like sausages when we go walking on a very humid day. It could be the sodium in your diet too. Good luck! I hope they've returned to normal now!
