Fluid overload
Hi After some advise please. I am currently not on dialysis but had the first stage of my fistula done two weeks ago as my renal function is 7%. I seem to be struggling with 6 kilos of fluid overload. I follow 1 litre fluid restriction and take 160mg of furosemide. I've tried restricting myself to 750mls

Hot feet anyone?

But it got worse and affected both legs from the lower calf to the ankle. Right worse than left. Very surface pain. I am not diabetic but I do have COPD and underwent

Oedema - hi there I'm new here :)
Hi there just found you !! I have underactive thyroid and taking 150mcg levothyroxine now for 17 years since the birth of my daughter. Temperatures have gone up here and my ankles have ballooned as usual. Do I just have to put up with this oedema ? Have tried furosemide and just not practical as running

1st world Liver Problems
So as some of you know I work full time and it takes about 30 minutes for me to drive to work. My morning routine is pretty consistent, I leave for work about 0630 always ensuring that I have visited the bathroom before I go. Being on 200mg Spiro and 40mg Furosemide we all know its a necessity!! I know

FUROSEMIDE
Hi, I've suffered with COPD for sometime and always thought I was good at managing it, however I was recently told that I was having an uninflected flair up, after three weeks of steroids I now have some fluid in my lungs and very bad oedema to both ankles and legs, the GP put me on 40mg FUROSEMIDE daily

Sepsis. Update on "Drama"
Thanks to all who replied to my Drama post. Just a quick update. Still in hospital while they grow cultures to find the type of sepsis. Meanwhile they are trying broad spectrum antibiotics until they identify a specific one. More worrying from my point of view, ( but they laugh at me and call me Dr)

"Eye Popping" Atrial Fibrillation
Interesting article and finally one that explains what likely happened to me the first time I went to a hospital with AF symptoms. This is probably what happened when they gave me beta blockers at a hospital where the doctors probably don't know a lot about AF or neglected to do tests on me before giving

I've been on this drug for a couple of months now during which time my belly, ankles and feet have swollen and refuse to go down despite a fairly high dose of Furosemide. My belly feels rock hard which I always thought meant internal
