So lets see. My swelling was going down with the diuretic I was taking with added potassium. However after 6 days of taking it I started vomiting intermittently. Theyre now saying it was the diuretic causing the vomiting. Meanwhile, even though I was adding potassium I now have a potassium deficiency perhaps because of all the vomiting. One day off the diuretic has already seen my legs swell and Ive gained 3 pounds overnight. No more vomiting, though. New potassium pill that is twice the size of anything Ive called a horse pill before. Wow. It does say I can dissolve it in water, but cant chew the pieces. Another blood test next week to see if potassium is back to normal. Tomorrow I see a urologist. I long for the old days when you had one family doctor for a long, long time. They got to know you and your family history, etc. I love my regular doc, but he works part time (good for him!) so he can share the responsibility of taking care of kids with his wife. Cool dude. But even though all the specialists I see are all in the same doctor group and even though they share a computer system, it always seems that they work independently on their particular specialty without even thinking about how something they suggest might affect my many other ailments.
