There was one that they gave me for water retention when I was on IVSM the first time that worked great but I cannot remember the name of it. I wonder if that one would work now?

But seeing as I am doing the Phys Therapy thing two days a week, I cannot afford to be dehydrated.
Have you told your doctor about this adventure? That is very concerning.

As for the med was it possibly HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide), or Spironolactone? those are both diuretics. I know this because my hubby is on HCTZ for blood pressure and I'm on Spironolactone (a potassium sparing diuretic) for periodic paralysis.

Hopefully you can remember the name of the medicine and your doctor will write you a new prescription that will actually give you some relief!

This was Detrol LA. I will most definitely be calling the doc on Monday and thanking her for that little adventure. Wishing I could remember the one they put me on before. I can probaby call the old neuro and ask, I think it started with a D too.

Oops, sorry I don't think I was clear when I was talking about the meds. I was trying to help suggest some of the names that the previous meds could have been. Calling the old neuro would probably be helpful, your current neuro should also be able to look at your charts and find it as well. He should have all of your records from your previous neuro.

I also forgot to ask, did the dehydrated feeling along with not being able to urinate go away when you stopped the Detrol LA? If not you should probably call your doctor today. I hope this gets better for you very fast!

The dehydrated feeling finally slacked up yesterday afternon but I have been drinking water like crazy trying to flush that stuff out of my system. Still can't go, but that has been going on since october so i am kind of used to it. Just annoying to have to do the cath thing.
