Do any of you retain fluid when getting hit really bad?

My old GP had a theoy that this might make the headaches worse and insisted on giving me a prn script for lasix. I keep it around cause sometimes I do swell up and can't seem to get the fluid off and take it...  

Right now I'm getting hammered really bad and am a "little" fixaiated on my damn head ( :) ) so I'm noticing about everything.  My feet and legs are swollen about three times their nomal size so I took some lasix and (although it's working) they're still swollen (took it early this morning).

I know heat will make you swell, but I've been avoiding heat totally so that's not it at all. Normally I have beautifully slim ankles, but today I look like a fat cow.... and it's painful to walk...

Please tell me O2 isn't fattening :'( :'( :'(

(Come on -- ya gotta laugh - it's too hurts too bad to cry)...

I wonder if the kidneys are reacting to vasoconstriction and reducing the capacity to move out the fluids???? Just a guess.
02 is not fattening. [smiley=wave.gif]

Have your legs and ankles always swollen during a series of really bad hits?  If no, than do what you already know you should do...get it checked out.

You young chicks ( :D ) need to practice what you preach, shouldn't WE?

Hugs for you,

Barb,
Check the salt content on your energy drink.  Some energy drinks are a bit high in salt content.  Combine that with the local temps and it could cause a problem with swelling.
