swelling tissues

Thu, 02/02/2006 - 13:11
Does anyone experience a feeling as though the tissues in your body have swelled during a simple partial? I just had one the other night, and it felt as though my tongue, arms and legs were absolutely huge. I can't really think of any other way to put the sensation into words. I remember having that feeling before, so I'm pretty sure it was just a s/p. The feeling lasted a minute or so, and then was completely gone. I happened to be talking to my hubby at the time, and told him how strange I was feeling. There was no lapse of consciousness. A very weird feeling...anyone else ever have that feeling too?? Heather :)
