Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here. Please be easy on me! Anyway, I am a 40 year old girl with stage 4 cirrhosis. I really don't know how to wrap my head around it. I find myself feeling completely not believed or something? Did anyone else experience this? But, physically the most frustrating side effect has been my SWELLING. sometimes I feel like the lasix or spironolactone actually MAKE me retain water?! Help!,! Thank-you K advance! Lola
