skinnyminilinny's Journal, 25 October 2019

Took a water pill this morning to be able to breathe better. I hold water in my lungs and in my legs. Trying to get some exercise and strengthen my heart. Starting again today on the egg fast. I started last Monday but blew it several times because of being out all day with doctor visits. Hopefully I'll do better this weekend. I definitely need to get rid of the water and be able to breathe better. It's a drag being on oxygen all day.

What kind of water pill do you take? Dialex I think is what I've tried and it makes me feel cruddy.

The name of my water pill is Furosemide. If I don't take it in a few days then I have to run to the bathroom a lot. It pulls all the excess water out of my lungs and off my legs. My heart is not strong enough to pump it out. That's my issue. My heart.

Thank you JC. I'm not feeling bad right now. Went to the eye doctor. Good news! No side effects from all my harsh medications. I go through test once a year because of all these meds. I passed the test! Yay! JC you're awesome! Thanks for taking an interest and for praying

I'm sorry that you have had probs with the water weight. I know its difficult to sleep and get enough rest when its hard to breathe at night! Glad to know that your eyes are all right. Be well, friend.

Thank you binkytexas, I have been sleeping in a recliner just to have my head up where I could breathe. I wear oxygen every night and sometimes in the day when I'm here. Not to worry. God has my back. I've been close to death so many times over the years and he always pulls me through. I just keep bouncing back. Anytime someone tells somebody that I'm not doing well they just look at them and say she's fine. She always bounces back. I laugh. I guess I'm not done here yet. We all have a purpose. God has a plan for all of us. We just need to seek him and ask him what he wants us to do. He definitely will let us know. And he's not mean. Jeremiah it says my plans for you are for good and not for evil to give you hope and a future. That's our God give us a hope and a future. He loves us unconditionally.

Skinny, how has sleeping in a recliner affected your back? Are you able to stretch? No fun sleeping in a chair. I used to have to sleep on a loveseat because of how it elevated my legs and eased my back. Yes, you have a purpose here. Very uplifting to see that you have continuing faith! Onward! U2 jcmama!

are you able to have apple cider vinegar i try to take 1T daily it helps me with water weight.

salynndra, thank you for the reminder of apple cider vinegar. I've taken it for years at different times and they have some great testimonies from people I recommended it to. I guess I was caught up in my other physical problems which I forgot about ACV. this is a doctor I listen to regularly. Watch "THE BEST TIMES TO DRINK APPLE CIDER VINEGAR FOR HEALING & LOSING WEIGHT - Dr Alan Mandell, DC" on YouTube https://youtu.be/zQj8O9fLarY this is short and sweet. Good info.

I need me some Braggs, Forgot about it too. Tatauu22, my mother also wore oxygen for years. Like skinny here, she spent a lot of time in the recliner, which helped. Wish I had known about Braggs back then as I would have given her some. Let us know how it goes, skinny! Onward, friend!
