When you say you have fluid all over your body, are you referring to swelling?

Do you have regular creatinine tests, this test shows how your kidneys are functioning, taking water tablets requires healthy kidneys to get rid of the fluid?

Quote from Mayoclinic

"A creatinine test is a measure of how well your kidneys are performing their job of filtering waste from your blood.

Creatinine is a chemical compound left over from energy-producing processes in your muscles. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine out of the blood. Creatinine exits your body as a waste product in urine.

A measurement of creatinine in your blood or urine provides clues to help your doctor determine how well the kidneys are working."
