Re: My bum hurts/water pill

[Guest guest]

Besides the sore bum, losing all this insulation has me cold all the

time! I know that's an almost universal reaction too.

The diuratics are working slowly, Colleen. My PCP is conservative,

and always starts her patients on the lowest possible dosage she

thinks will be effective. Also, if you push the diuretics too fast

or for too long, you risk losing too much sodium and potasium along

with the water. I was at 189 the morning of my plastic surgery, and

212 a week ago, when I saw her about the edema in my legs. 197 this

morning. Considering that he lopped off almost 11 pounds of skin, I

should stablize around 180. I talked to my PCP this moring, and

she's satisfied with the progress.
