Inconsistent swelling

[Lolasebastienne]

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

Hi Lola

Welcome to our friendly little forum!

Sorry to hear you are not well 😕. What do you mean by not believed, please? Someone believes if you have been given this diagnosis and tablets...

Good afternoon Lolasebastienne,

Welcome to this friendly , supportive forum.

I have included a link to the British Liver Trust information regarding cirrhosis

If you have ongoing issues with swelling (oedema) please ensure you discuss it with your medical team - they may be able to offer treatment/support

Best wishes,
