From the experience of last several days, I learnt that dehydration could cause swelling legs as well as migraine. I tend to not drink enough water since I was little. (I don't drink soda but coffee and tea which makes dehydration worse.) First of all, I rarely had migraine, so I cannot remember the last time I felt like this. I had never experienced migraine for such long duration, never more than a few minutes, and 3-days long migraine was more than I could bear. I knew swelling legs is one of the symptom of dehydration, but this one was seriously severe and sudden. Besides, I thought I was doing the same lifestyle as usual, and I couldn't understand why now suddenly my legs were swelling after migraine attacks. During these episodes, I gained four pounds at some point and lost them quickly as I hydrated myself. Just in case, I need to do blood work to check my kidney and liver function, but dehydration would be the key of all of my symptoms. It was a quite experience.
So, you would think why I didn't drink enough water since I was little. It's so silly yet simple: I didn't like "bathroom" or "toilet". As a child, I thought that I wouldn't need to go bathroom if I didn't drink water lot. Somebody should have paid attention on what this child was doing. This became my long time habit, and it now needs lots of effort to fix it. Of course this is the one of reasons why I am "irregular". The reason of all wrong things was right there: WATER.
