Swollen Ankles And Feet. Has Alzheimer S Disease. Due To Excessive Medicine Intake?

My wife, who has Alzheimers. has recently had very swollen ankles and feet. I have had to buy shoes
several sizes larger than her usual size. I do not know what to do next. Margaret is on seven different
tablets a day, but has been been taking them for more than three years now, and I cannot see how they
may the cause.

Hi,

The selling in the feet could be due to fluid retention. Give her a glass of Cranberry juice every day, this being a diuretic removes excess fluid from the body and reduces the swelling.
