Well it finally happened. I have been retaining fluids again. Each time I have tried to quit smoking, I start to retain fluids really bad around the 3 month point.
It happened again this time, and I have not been able to get it under control (last two times, I went back to smoking to solve the problem). To date, I have gained 20 pounds, most of it liquid. My feet, and fingers have swelled up, and all this extra weight makes moving around difficult. I get out of breath just walking across a parking lot.
I am trying to watch what I eat, and to drink plenty of liquid especially water. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know of a diaretic that works. Apparently nictotine is one according to my walk in clinic doctor.
Thanks
