>>>*******hey, I too have LEFT foot swelling. I started DYAZIDE for it and it helped more than anything else has. I drink tons of H2O and still had trouble. It also helped my B/P which was not hypertensive,YET, but on it's way there. ANd we PCOS'ers know that is just one more thing to look forward to with this horrible syndrome!!!!!

Hope this helps. >>>HELLO--
