I've been on diuretics for 3 months to control ascites. These have been reduced periodically to the point they are due to stop. Once I stop them, IF the ascites is still controlled , will the clinic look for me tonbe able.to slowly increase my fluid intake or am I looking at being on restrictions for life?((Cirrhosis f4, previous ascites))

Ask the question at your next appointment- personally I’d rather take some diuretics and not have a severely limited fluid intake. Currently not in diuretics but have some swelling in legs by end of day and small amount of fluid in stomach.
Update.. down to 40mg furosemide and can drink to thirst
