It appears that I am having a problem retaining water. I know I have a problem retaining in my feet and legs. I work a lot of hours and I'm on my feet a lot. Every now and then, when I notice that the swelling in my marshmallow feet doesn't go down, I take one of my HCTZ and all is cured. Three nights ago, I noticed something odd. I had pitting edema in my wrists. WTF! That's never happened before! In my wrists?? C'MON! I knew something had to be up because I gained like 6lbs in a week. I took HCTZ two days in a row and lost every bit of it. All the swelling went down, I could see the veins on my feet again, and my belly went down. I'm not liking all this water retention. It kinda worries me :( If it keeps on, I may have to talk to my PCP and get a prescription to take them daily again. Right now I'm 3 times a week as needed for swelling. Grr....it just sucks. I thought I was done with taking meds. Why can't my body be normal?!
