diuretics

[licklemoose]

dr has put me on furosemide as im getting really bad water retention to the point i can hardly walk without severe pain
she also increased my metformin 500mg twice a day
i remember someone saying about diuretics and low carb not being a good mix
what do i do? i do need to shift this water

I was on furosemide for about 3 years and low carb, no problems for me.

@licklemoose hello, I have been low carbing since October and take furosemide with no problems

Hi @licklemoose - My GP started me on 20mg Furosemide last year and then it got increased in February this year to 40mg a day. (I only take them when not going out for fear of not getting to a toilet in time!)) By the end of the day my feet and ankles are swollen. But, wake up every morning and the odema has gone, then by late afternoon it starts to collect.

thankyou
at least now i know i dont have to worry about foods
my feet are ok in the mornings, early afternoons swelling starts by evening they are killing me
hopefully they work fast as took one this morning and have a swollen foot (one swells more than the other and dr didnt seem to worried)
