Loulabelle...TY so much hun! I've never tried fennel tea but I will look for it. I usually drink green tea and it get's boring after all this time. Thank goodness you don't have pre-eclampsia! If you hadn't of said you didn't I would have panicked! I'll look for the raspberry leaf tablets as well. Again...TY (((Lou)))!

osuche...Yes, I agree that this could be a hormonal thing. I really am going to see the doc soon. The pain is getting unbearable and that's my cue. When my hands are cold it hurts worse so I do use moist heat at times. I thought about Aleve but doesn't that have a lot of sodium and therefore wouldn't it make me retain more water? Both you and Lou gave me great suggestions and with them, and as soon as I see the doc, I will report back on my condition. TY (((osuche)))!

TY everyone...for your responses!
