figure out why fast and either remedy it or die. I was on macrodantin and my doctor was ignoring the edema in my hands and legs and when I looked in the PDR it described the side effects and if I didn't stop taking it I would die. I stopped, had the nurse remove the IV and chart it as rtama "refused treatment against medical advice". My doctor acted like he was pissed when he showed up and I pointed out that I saved him a malpractice lawsuit and went about finding another urologist. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Sent: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] dr.G (Friday night lights)
John, what do you do when water fills up your lungs? Dan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Joan, are you sure edema isn't a side effect of some drug you are on. Swelling fingers is often a sign your kidneys aren't functioning up to par. I have found that when my fingers are sweling, my lungs are next to fill with water. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Sent: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 3:49 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] dr.G (Friday night lights) Hi Joan, My fingers curled enough that I can grasp a pop-can and hold it in what looks to be a natural grasp. The pinkie on my right hand curls downward, but not a lot.

The only time they resemble fingers is while I am still in bed, but once I get up the edema swells them up -- it's not really that bad, but down in rehab, they had me wearing gloves to try and keep the swelling down. It didn't work, so I decided that fat fingers were better than fat fingers inside gloves. LOL.
