Well it is August and the weather is so humid that about 4 pounds sneaked up on me of water weight. Increased the dosage and overall not too bad. Unfortunately with this additional fluid sat on my herniated discs in my neck causing all sorts of havoc this summer. I haven't been on here for awhile as had not been feeling well. I had a radiofrequency ablation done to one side which caused even more inflammation. Tough goings but finally settled down. To have the other side done but I will be wiser this time and get an epidural first (to lower inflammation). I hope all of you have been fairing better than I this summer and would love to hear from you. Good health.

I am sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! The heat and humidity have been especially bad lately. I started having knee pain when exercising recently which I think is due to the excess fluid. For various reasons I am thinking of moving to Colorado soon, which I am hoping may also help keep swelling down because the humidity is so low there.
This summer with all the humidity has been horrible. Well, I had the second ablation done (left side) and am feeling good with no pain. Back doing my yoga and trying to lose a few unwanted pounds. Looking forward to the fall with some cool weather. Looks like I will have to travel in a few months to get some good dry summer weather. ;-) Hope you are all well. Thinking of you often Cathy and hoping you are doing well too.
Hi E,
Oh my, not the best summer ever yet glad things are settling down. I’m going to google the procedure - all we need is more inflammation! I am struggling with the heat when it gets over 100° I honestly don’t think I’ve had 4-5 lbs of fluid during these heat waves before or perhaps I didn’t make the connection. Hope you feel better soon. Big warm hug, Cathy
