Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Kimber, thanks for the advice on diuretics. I am one of those who simply has to have them despite the risk of it causing pancreas problems. Without it, I soon feel as it all the skin on my body will split wide open! I take 80 mg of lasix and 10 mEq of potassium every day. I never knew that lying on your right side after taking the lasix would help! Makes sense, though, but no one ever told me about it! thanks for the info - even though it wasn't directed to me!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 , Yikes, you sound almost as bad as me. I take 120 mg of Lasix (40mgs three times a day) and 80 mEq of potassium (one tab three times a day). My doctor told me about the lying down on the right side and it does seem to help more when I do that then when I forget to lay down. And yes, many times I feel like I'm going to burst out of my skin, particularly in my feet. And since my feet are extra sensative (the opposite of most diabetics, which I am, but then, I've been known to have strange reactions to things), it feels really odd. Glad it is of some use to you.
