Hi Linda,
I am a 46 y/o female who has suffered from fluid retention since my first pregnancy at age 19. I had it horribly with all three pregnancies and since then. i also suffer from colitis and hyporthyroidism. I drink coffee in the morning then water for the rest of the day. After many visits to the doctor i am taking 40mg lacix a day but still isnt helping. I found your book online and was thrilled with what i was reading so i ordered it today. Cant wait to get it so i can get out of misery once and for all. Will let u know how it goes!

Hi Linda
I have Sero negative Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosed 2008 I take diclofenic SR 75mg daily, I’ve just finished yet another course of prednisone started at 10mg for a week then down by1mg every 2 days till 0mg. In the past I’ve had intrevenious steroiids and injections in fact 2 injections this year, i have the biologic Humira,inject methotrexate, take 15mg folic acid a day.
Since May 2011 the RA has invaded my spine and I now have a stenosis at L3/4 L4/5. I’m waiting for surgery. My questions are: I’m a travel consultant, previously a front of house manager hotels, I stupidly trained my bladder so I’d be able to go the whole day without going to the loo, more so when I got RA as the stairs were too much for me to handle, as I’m off work now 7 months I’ve realised the danger I’m putting my body under, I weigh 20st and this can fluctuate by 7lb overnight, I’m following a calorie controlled diet to the letter with WLR and it’s disheartning eating my 1200 C a day to see my weight go up not down. I’ve just bought your book the waterfall diet paperback version 2010 and hope it will help.

I have been experiencing a lot of hormonal imbalances and I was given the Pill to balance them (took it for 1 year and a half) . However, the pill filled me up with water and even gave me lots of mental poblems so I decided to stop it (like 8 months ago). Now that I stopped the pill my hormones still are not balanced however some of the water has drained but still I can’t get that ripped look (although I do a lot of training) all over the body.

I have had ideopathic edema of my legs and ankles since November of 2009. I am SICK of it. My legs are tingling and tight as I write this and my ankles and feet hurt too. I have been told that I am dehydrated but yet I retain water! Can this be possible? HOW can this be possible? I work at a job where I am walking on a cement floor for 8 hours a day. The ankle/leg with the most swelling has a visible varicose vein with a couple of round red marks (like bruises) on the lower shin. I have taken lasix on and off but the reduction in swelling doesn’t last. I am at my wit’s end.

Hi, I’ve been having a problem with my left side of my body, it retains so much water, this all happened after stopping birth control(which I only took for 6 months.) My doctor checked for blood clots, and that’s about it. It certainly gets bigger after any sodium intake.

Hi there,
My retention started 3 yrs ago with injections for varicose veins in my legs. After about 4 sessions over several months, I started retaining water up to 5 pounds by 3 in the afternoon. It always subsides at night and doesn’t respond to salt consumption. No help from several Drs. Lymphatic messages get rid of it, but it is only temporary. My diet is organic, rotation and have added in several foods from an elimination diet. The water is throughout my body, accumulates daily, being tiring and uncomfortable. I am 5’8″ at 113lbs and exercise daily hoping to help circulation and move fluid. This is my normal weight and has been for 15 years. I am 49, on bio identicals for hormones, compound T3 and T4 for Thyroid.

I was recently on a diet that consisted of drinking alot of water and eating thermogenic foods. The program consisted of taking slim up food supplement vitamins and reneau. I hurt my back in the process of lifting some heavy material. I have high blood pressure and now have fluid retention since the day I hurt my back. The fluid seems to come and go with no balance. A week ago I was experience some pressure in my head and I also get weak in the evenings where I was very active excerising and such. The doctor run some blood tests and everything come back normal?!
