Hi Jan, I am allergic to sulfa and many diuretics apparently contain sulfa (Thankfully I caught that while reading the prescription information that came with the prescription before I took any!!) I am supposed to be on something now called something like spironolactone. I took it one day and had some bowel trouble, but I don't know if it was related to that or not. I need to try it again before I go back to see the doctor.

Do you take Lasix or any other diuretic? I take generic Lasix, and have since I was diagnosed.That keeps the retention problem in check with exceptions like having to stand a long time.............as to your cellulitis, I'm not much help except to say that you should be sure to take the total bottle of pills, i.e., don't stop when you feel better............and I think your dr.'s suggestion to put your feet up is im- portant...........it'll also help with retention problem........Now, you have an excuse to let the housework go and get a good book! what a stroke of luck!!! Hope this clears up quickly! hugs, janh **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.
