How To Treat Non Pitted Edema On Legs With Elevated Creatinine And Glucose Level While Having IV Medications For Lyme,bartonella, And Babesiosis?
Slightly elevated creatinine levels, high glucose levels. On many IV medications right now because I have Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesiosis. Meropenum and Cipro in the a.m., Meropenum and Tigecycline in the evening. Now developing non pitted edema on my tops of feet and on my legs. I also have factor V Leiden if that makes any difference. Should I be worried about the edema? Is it likely fluid retention?

HI
You have not mentioned your age and gender this was extremely necessary here without this I may not give you right opinion or advise, any way I could say here that you have to stop un-necessary medicine, taking medicine for no good or valid medical reason always brings something bad, elevate the limb, cut down the salt in diet, take care and next time give complete information bye.
