I don't consume any sugar and little salt and try to drink a lot of water. I think there was some sort of imbalance, but luckily for the past few days it's been better and I haven't taken water pills.

I believe that my body was thrown off by taking too much thyroid, which suppressed by pituitary. That gland produces a hormone that regulates water balance. Plus I made a lot of med changes all at once, getting rid of some and adding others. It was just too much change chemically for my body.

I don't have that swollen, water-logged feeling now and my weight is also dropping according to the weight loss plan I have in place so I'm just hoping that it stays this way. If not, I'll contact my doctor to have some more labs to see what might be going on.
