Drexxie - Even without breaking down your med profile, I can see why your doc doesn't want you on a diuretic. It would mean adjusting the thyroid meds and quite possible the doses of Adderal and Dexedrine, because of fluid loss. If the endo found it was the thyroid meds and adjusted them slightly, you would have to readjust the stimulants again. It is much easier to wait to see the endo, especially if you are having no heart problems.

The reason for the med adjustment after taking a diuretic is because you would have less body water, and hence, your concentration of other drugs would increase (and it still may not help the edema).

I guess that the best you can do is to elevate your legs when sitting, and hopefully this can ease some of the edema.

Sorry that I cannot help more than that. - Cam
