Cindy, I take a diuretic called Bumex every morning as long as my systolic blood pressure is 110 or higher. I also weigh myself every morning. If my weight has gone up 2 pounds of more my doctor instructed me to take 2 tablets instead of 1. I rarely have to do this luckily. Also, I do drink a lot of water. My doctor said I do not have any signs of heart failure or kidney issues and has encouraged me to drink plenty of water. I also watch salt/sodium like a hawk. I have definitely hit my high maintenance years!

MichealBrand yes very true!! I take it as well and it helps, and pickle juice will get rid of charlie horses in minutes. Make sure to keep some in your fridge, it's a lifesaver. God bless

You will need Lasix and take potassuim with it for leg cramps. Get your doctor to script you. He should have already. God Bless
