Early Retirement from Work.
Morning Everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic pain syndrome. It has taken 4 years to get to this point as I also have spinal degeneration in my neck and lower back which was clouding the symptoms of the fibromyalgia. I had a spinal fusion on C4 C5 & C6 C7 last August but

Fluid retention.
Has anyone experienced resistance to diuretics? My furusamide stopped working and I'm now on bumetanide which is better but I still feel bloated and my weight is not moving up or down. I've increased my intake of fluids advised by h.f. nurses. Any tips would be appreciated.

What is Nebivolol like?
I'm back again following a medical MOT. I failed but not miserably! My heart is weaker but that's to be expected I expect! The good news I think is that I've been taken off bisoprolol completely and I take the complete dose of Nebivolol at night (7.5) I had a good night's sleep broken only by Maverick

Alcohol and stopping due to HF
My husband has been a drinker averaging 6 cans a night for around 40 years. In Aug 2019 he found himself in hospital with swelling up to his abdomen and extreme coughing and breathlessness. As he hadn't visited a gp for 25 years , you can imagine this was a huge shock. Basically his diagnosis was heart

Need help with swollen feet
My doctor ask me to monitor my blood pressure with a new Med he prescribed since my pressure was very high every day. I’m already on two other meds and this took the place of Amiloride. I’ve been taking it, but my feet have been swollen every since. So he prescribed furosemide one and a half tablet every

Diuretic alternative?
As many of you know the Bumetanide that I take is really life limiting for me, meaning that every third day or second day (I have cut back from every day) I have to be very near a personal toilet for 7-8 hours. I can't even make phone calls or have visitors in the first 5 hours due to the amount of times

Carbimazole, loop diuretic and extreme insomnia
My mum is 89 and has copd, heart failure and hyperthyroidism. In the last five months she has been to hospital four times. She's hardly slept in that time. Only on a few nights has she had more than two hours sleep. She recently had her carbimazole raised from 10 to 15 mg per day as her hormones were

Bumetanide
My husband has been prescribed Bumetanide for water retention, because he stored the water around his middle but not his legs, however he has been feeling washed out since taking. Has anyone else had this reaction to this medication.

This has left me with LSHF. I have been given 40mg furosemide and 5mg Amiloride the furosemide to be increased to 80mg if needed. Although this has improved the outcome I am still quite breathless. do I accept this or pursue things further? I have to return to my EP on 22nd of March or cancel if I

Furusemide v bumetanide!
I hope I've spelt it right! I wonder what the difference is. My husband was on furusemide for years but was switched to bumetanide after kidney failure. Is there a reason we all seem to be on furusemide? I hope it's not just a cost issue. I'm struggling with fluid retention at present though on 120g

Multiple health issues.
I was finally diagnosed with a rare kidney disease called Liddles Syndrome after having gone through almost a year of hospitalizations, including one for kidney failure. The doctor that I was seeing had been my doctor since 2005. Since 2015 I was telling him something was wrong. I just didn’t feel right

Bumetanide
Following my recent heart surgery which included an ablation I have been prescribed Bumetanide. Is anybody else taking this diaretic . I am left with a very dry mouth, eyes and flaky skin and have noticed that it is affecting my gums. I frightened of losing my teeth! As well as everything else that's

Hi, I'm new to this...
Hello all, bit of a long story! My husband had a pacemaker fitted beginning of November, had to have the procedure twice as one of the leads had become detached. As a result the consultant stopped his diuretics for a few days because of possible upset to his kidneys. As a result he ended up with fluid

Amiloride
Hi, Anyone out there on this. I started taking it but it made me wee so much I stopped - I don't really know whether i need it or not as not sure I need a diuretic but thought I would ask here as it is going to take me a month to get back to see my GP for a routine appointment.

My Aunty aged 92 who has had some slight memory problems for some years stopped taking her tablets Equilis, Bisoprolol, Bumetanide, two months ago saying she was feeling fine and the tablets were not needed.
