I can't really give you any hope, but sister I am in the SAME BOAT!!!! I am swollen and lumpy like a beached whale, suspectedly from 1 month on divalproate. I am also feeling desperate for a solution. Read my post about med reaction swelling.
I wish I could take diuretics, but I am on lithium now and they can be harmful. It sounds like you are in good shape, being a runner. I am overweight, so I am going to just try and diet and hope that some of the fluid and swelling will go down with the weightloss.
Please keep posting if you find any answers.
