ladies and gents, i'm in need of some advice and cant seem to find an answer online.
i've decided not to weigh in this week, and maybe next.
when i went to the docs the other day, i mentioned the water retention in my right leg, and asked for more water tablets, which she didn't give me. i then got asked to go to phlebotomy, which i did this morning, to have blood taken to check my kidneys are functioning properly. this past week, my legs (mainly my right one) look like those big donner meat things you see in late night kebab shops, they are so swollen.
anyway, i weighed myself when i left the docs this morning (boots scales that i always use) and between last saturday and now, i've GAINED 8lbs!!! now, i know i havent been so great with my weight plan this week, and havent been to the gym due to the bloating, but i've no way gained that amount. my legs are still huge!!
however, my question is this, WHY AM I NEVER THIRSTY? i forget to drink. today, i've had a cup of tea at 8am, and one pint of water half an hour ago. is this why i'm retaining fluid? or are my kidneys seriously ****ed up?
my aunt who died last year had kidney problems all her adult life, and i do worry that a similar thing is in line for me. are these things hereditery?
thanks for reading xxx
