Re: Lots of excess fluids
MARYANN Thanks for reading my message. Your perfectly correct, Last week I went to our G.P. and when she heard some crackling in my back thru the stethoscope she perscribed a chest xray together with an expectorant, a antibiotic and changed the water pill to DYAZIDE which contains potassium. Im feeling better now without any wheezing and the water pill is taken only twice a week. Nevertheless, the excess water problem started some time ago. I suppose it started twelve years ago with the onset of PD, the decreasing activitity level and the side effects of the meds. This is something I have to live with....damn it!! I was hoping that the Pallidotomy would have eliminated the freezing which would permit me my pre-pd activity but it was wishful thinking. The freezing is the same even though some other serious symptoms have dissapeared or been greatly reduced. Now, I must concentrate on my diet both liquid and solid and increase my activity level as much as I can so I can try to eliminate some of this "excess" Again thanks for your interest and comments. Joyce
