Sometimes when I drive on the expressway, especially at night, and go around a curve I feel like I am floating. I have to be really careful and avoid those situations. I have always attributed it to my fluid retention. I have a real problem with pitting edema and take a water pill daily. I am really hoping when I go to the liver doctor on Jan 14th for the first time that he doesn't take me off of it because it causes big problems for me when I don't take it. My ears get all stuffed, I get dizzy, bad headaches, my fingers look like sausages. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2000 Report Share Posted January 1, 2000 Judy, as you know, I've had a problem with pitting edema in the past. By limiting my sodium intake (yuck!), most all of the fluid retention has gone away. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love, >> : I really do try to do that and just found out that my husband has had that 33% salt sense in our salt shaker for over two years without me even knowing it. lol I have had the fluid for over 6 years and think it also may be associated with my estrogen use, but who knows. Hope your back feeling 100% soon. Take care Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
