I am seeing a new pain mgt doctor who is also a neurologist next tuesday, but he said he doesnt use mannitol and didnt sound like he would be open to it.
I am worn out right now. I feel like i am getting more swollen by the day.
God have mercy on me! I need help right away.
Sorry for whining.
this is just wearing me out.

Abdominal swelling is a rather non specific entity which can have either dire or benign causes. It can be as a result of serious pathology or have benign origins. An abdominal CT scan would go a long way to clear up the mess.
I had issues with sensations of abdominal swelling as a result of the tug of war between taking Norco daily (slows down the digestive system) and occasional laxatives as recommended by my internist. I demanded a CT scan that was normal and so I noticed that by limiting both medications, those symptoms minimized.
Abdominal swelling, known as ascitis, whose eitiology can be serious should require CT scan to rule in or out ominous causes. I am not at all certain a neurologist is who you need to see...
