I don't know if this is of relevance to ME as it has only become noticeable in the last couple of years, a fraction of my time with ME/CFS.
Puffiness around the ankles, what I guess oedema feels like there, socks leave marks, they are sometimes a bit reddish and itchy. As I was suffering from frequent breathlessness last year I pointed it out to GP who ordered NT-PRO BNP test. My result was well below the level indicative of heart failure to my relief, however getting on for a year later, and having been more active recently, ankles seems unchanged.
I don't obviously have OI or POTS type symptoms, nor diabetes, my BMI is within normal range and am not currently housebound or particularly sedentary. Any thoughts welcome.
