    Hello Mhairi and welcome from me. Like Sharon, I don't post very often, but am a regular reader. I recently discussed fluid retention with my GP and she said she was sympathetic, but wouldn't prescribe water tablets as they affect so many different things within the body. She suggested a natural approach such as plenty of cucumber, but I haven't managed that yet. Nor have I found anything else that helps. For the first nine months of this year I made myself eat a large salad every day for lunch. Not only do I hate salad, but I put on weight and fluid. I don't expect it was the salad, but I don't feel so bad about not eating much now. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it! :lol:

    I hope you find things settle for you very quickly and I am glad you have found this forum. Folks on here are a real support network.

    Susie
