Well, the last two nights have been rough. I didn’t get much sleep due to the side effects of the chemo. I gained about 30 lbs. of water weight again and my skin won’t stop itching. I also had coughing fits in the middle of the night causing me to toss and turn to the point where I went downstairs to sleep on the couch so Dee would get a good night of sleep. I got very restless. Things were getting out of control so I decided to do something to jump start my body to start losing the water weight. Going against the Doctors advice, I took lasix pill last night. What Is lasix?
Lasix is a loop diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt, allowing the salt to instead be passed in your urine
Lasix treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or a kidney disorder such as nephrotic syndrome. Lasix is also used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
To help keep me hydrated, I been drinking plenty of bottled water. Let us see if this will put me on the road to recovery.
That is it for now.
