I still have furosemide on prescription and was advised to manage this myself. Has anybody got experience of this and

CLL + nephrotic syndrome: furosemide problem
Hello, I'm here to share something with the community that may be important for those who have had nephrotic syndrome related to an infiltration of CLL in the kidneys. Normally, when there is a lot of swelling, it's common to be prescribed furosemide. In my case, I'm being treated with obinutuzumab,

I am now becoming breathless without exertion and I tend to nap anytime that I sit down. I have seen a Cardiologist this month and am

Spironolactone.
I have been taking Spironolactone for one week, 25mg daily, which isn’t a very high dosage. Already I seem to be experiencing some side effects, tickly throat, severe bloating etc. Has anyone else noticed any side effects. Thank you. PhylK.

toenails
in 71 years I have never had a problem with my feet but suddenly my toenails are becoming white and too thick to cut. Could this be my HF meds ( bisoprolol, spironolactone, astovastatin, Entresto, Clopidogrel and lanzoprazole) ?

Diuretics
Has anyone found a particular diuretic effective for swollen feet? when I first reported them to my GP, she prescribed Indapamide - which had a marginal effect. I was due to see my cardiologist a short while later, and told him what I was taking, he said 'No, that's the wrong one' and said I needed

Furosemide
Hi. Just wondering what doses of furosemide people are on for fluid retention (from heart failure). My mum has been increased to 120 mg per day as she has fluid in her chest/lungs. Seems an awful lot! Anyone else on this much and how are the side effects? Thanks in the meantime.

Meds & raised blood sugar

Hashimotos - understanding latest blood test results - any advice for next steps?
Hi all, my partner (44F) has been struggling with hypothyroid / possible PCOS symptoms for ~18 months (thinning hair all over, some hirsutism and weight gain). She was diagnosed with Hashimotos in October 2022. We have been trying an approach to tackle both the thyroid issues and the hyperandrogenism
