32 oz is about a liter. A little less. You are supposed to drink FIVE of them? Wow.

I used to keep a 32oz cup at work. I fill it up in the morning and drink some through the day. If I was not finished at the end of the day I would chug the rest.

I don't understand because the way that water pills work is to dehydrate you so that your blood pressure goes down. I refuesed to take water pills because I can easily get dehydrated without them thanks.

Water is a lot easier to drink if it is flavored...even with just a squeeze of lemon...

Sigh.

Keep me posted...

however..

he maxide is the one to help flush out the extra potassium.

and the spiro is the one to help keep it in, but they are both "water pills"

weird huh?

When you go take a list of your meds and make them review it. Sounds totally screwy to me....

yeah, i spent part of this morning doing a meal by meal list to see if they want to change any of it.

they didn't change mush after surgery, just added more stuff.

Are they trying to massively increase fluid throughput? Please do ask.

it wasnt what i thought

they wanted to check blood levels again. and to have me talk to the doctor, that was it, so now i know what is actually gonna happen, the doc even told me if they're werent so many people in the house, i could take the option of doing the radiology at home

endo doc called me again.

she freaked out when i told her about the visit, the walk in doc was totally wrong. so i was told i should have increased so much, cause when she called my sodium was WAY to low.

i am getting really tired of it all.so for short time i get to have salt again. in moderation of course.
