Re: Keep liquids to minimum?

[Guest guest]

You must drink liquids, but not to excess, as your tissues are fighting to

hold what is already there. I was relating to people who have a cup of

something beside them all day. I am one as is my brother who is waiting for

a liver transplant (hepC) If the tissues cannot get rid of the water build

which is actually toxins that cannot go through the liver and kidneys, you

then set yourself up for cystitus (spelling?) very painful, swelling like

you have never seen before ( not just your legs) and the color of your skin

in severe cases looks like raspberry juice color. I have seen this twice now

in my brother and he was hospitalized, the swelling edema actually caused

the bridge of his nose to burst from pressure. I was amazed that was the

only place.

Love and Hugs to all

-- Keep liquids to minimum?

In Penny's message below she writes to " keep liquid to a minimum. "

I don't understand this, as I have heard to drink a LOT. In fact, it seems

when i drink more water the swelling goes down.

What is other people's experience? I have venous stasis in my legs.

THanks.
