I have really not been making good use of this website, and it's my favorite of all those I've found online. If I spent as much time here as I do on Facebook, I'd probably have lost a lot of weight by now!
My edema and pain problems continue, and yesterday I had my first meeting with the nephrologist that my cardiologist referred me too. I was very disappointed that he did not prescribe anything for the swelling, the reason being that my electrolytes are already screwed up (sodium levels too low). He sent me to the lab for more blood work (checking thyroid, cortisol levels, and more) and a urine sample. I will see him again next month. In the meantime, he wants me to follow a low sodium diet and limit my fluids to only ONE LITER A DAY. That is going to kill me!
I saw that there is a challenge regarding sodium here on Fat Secret. I'm thinking after I log in my current weight that I should join this challenge and make a sincere effort to spend more time on this site and in planning my meals. I am never going to get better unless something changes!
