Retaining Fluid

The past few days I have been retaining a lot of fluid. This morning when I got up I was 12 pounds heavier than I was on Thursday. This is not good. I knew it was time to call my doctor. I don't like calling my doctor cause I never want to be admitted to the hospital. I hate going to the hospital.

Well they increased my lasix by 80mg today. Told me if I don't get the fluid off of me that I will have to go into the hospital. The last time this happened and she wanted me in the hospital I fought her on it. She knows I hate going to the hospital. I have an appointment with her on April 15th. She is seeing if they can work me in on this Wednesday instead of waiting for two more weeks.

I can say that I am 4 pounds lighter this evening than I was this morning. So the extra lasix is working. Hopefully that in the morning it will be more and I don't have to worry about going to the hospital. She did also increase my Remodulin. With that will come the side effects. Mostly it will be bad headaches. That is already starting a little bit. I try not to complain about it to much. I have to look at it as this medicine is saving my life.

I have to get myself healthy. There is so much going on right now. Both my dad and step mom have been in the hospital in the past month. First my step mom was in there she got out and my dad went in. Then she got sick again after he came home and she is back in there again. So we have been really busy. I have not been getting the rest I need. Just say a prayer for me that I will get all this fluid off of me.

  5. I read your story, it is disturbing, it seems your body is retaining more fluids which should, but I give you advice if you do not like to go to hospital you should go, because that would cause you bigger problem and then consequences will be worse, in addition to those gaining weight very fast and that's not good. I gained weight for the same reason and when combined with buy viagra the effect was slightly more positive
