In reply to wellbturin and pitting edema, posted by Catherine Sheel on May 9, 2006, at 11:11:38
(See previous post....I spelled Wellbutrin "wellbturin"...not sure if this matters or not...)
I got a call back from my doctor ... she said all my tests are normal. But she also said she didn't have an answer to my edema problem.
She did tell me to go off all my diuretics...said she was afraid they'd mess with my electrolytes and my fluid/body system even more. This I understand.
But this doesn't help my 20 lb. water gain problem. And when I asked her where to go for help..she couldn't tell me where to go.
So, where do I go? Who do I go to? I'm completely losing my marbles. I feel like no one is helping me or wants to. My therapist is wonderful and kind...but she can't help me as she just doesn't know what's going on either. My pdoc is clueless.
I've been off WB for 10 days now...is that not enough? Or does is just take the body a long time to equilibrate after having edema for this long (4-6 months)?
I also went off my Topamax...just in case. But being off all my antidepressants...this can't be good, you know?
I feel hopeless, desperate, lost, alone.
Can't someone help me or at least tell me where MAYBE i can go for help?
