Thanks for the drug list:
Furosemide is very potent. It depletes the body of electrolytes. Doctors will follow this for potassium, but they often neglect magnesium(until the poor patient gets so low they have a cardiac arrthymia). Also it depletes thiamine B1. The magnesium and thiamine when low give lots of nerve symptoms. So it would be prudent to take a magnesium supplement (if you don't eat foods high in magnesium) and also thiamine 100mg 3 times a day. I myself had this reaction with flared my own PN, which was stable. So now I only use furosemide once a week or ever 10 days, and that way I get rid of some of my hypothyroid edema, and don't get depleted. I also choose to take magnesium in the form a lotion, and nuts as a food source, and Benfotiamine 150mg a day (which is an improved type of B1). It is always possible to have more than one thing going on. You could have some genetic component but also suffer from side effects from drugs. In addition to these two nutrients which are severely affected, the reference I use also lists these as well--to attention to all of these is a good idea: minerals: calcium magnesium sodium potassium zinc vitamins Vitamin B1 (thiamine) Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) Vitamin C
