Barbara, Haven't tried a diuretic, but I still cath twice a day so I know I am not retaining any urine. Do you cath? Janice ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, May 01, 2009 7:48 PM Subject: [TMIC] Spironolactone -- diuretics
My doctor put me on Spironolactone as a diuretic -- I'd had some swelling in my lower legs and other diuretics contain sulfa, which I am allergic to. At first I thought, Oh, great...I go to the bathroom so often as it is, I'll just live in there now. But it actually seemed to help. I still go pretty often but I go more when I do. I think I must have been retaining urine without realizing it. I knew I was right after TM, but it seemed like it had gotten significantly better over the years -- but I think I still must have been retaining a little. So I was surprised that the Spironolactone helped. Has anyone else had that experience with diuretics?
