[EllaC]

Thank u so much ella craig...do u know the reason why my face has swelled up...like my nose luks huge now...what can i do to reduce this water retention....is this becasue of me being hypothyroid or because i put on weight or because of the supplements....last month i was little irregular in taking my eltroxcin....the thyroid medicine...

To be perfectly honest i think you should see a Dr, it sounds like water retention but you want to know why, i would think the herbs would be out of your system. But now you have mentioned you are on thyroid meds you shouldnt mix any meds with herbs without checking with a Dr or a naturopath.
If the swelling continues then certainly contact someone asap. Its none of their business why you chose to take herbs and they have a privacy thing to adhere to so they cant tell anyone. You can always say you just tried to "balance your hormones".

Tell them your breasts have shrunk and you believe you might have a hormone inbalance, that way you can find out whats going on. If your estrogen dominant at least you can do something about it and hoepfully regain what you have lost.

Histamine reaction can cause swelling, hives, rashes, dizziness after eating etc so maybe something you ate has caused the swelling in the face. I know for me when i have a histamine reaction its always in my head! Ie face rash, dizziness etc. But thats just spitballing ideas as i dont know if you have food allergies.

If you feel healthy and feel ok dont stress too much, but if the swelling continues, then check it out, gota keep yourself well for your precious kiddies
