Update:
I've been taking HCTZ at night and drinking an additional half to full gallon of water per day. The combo has helped tremendously with edema. I don't think drinking more water alone would do much.
My intestinal motility is still way, way high. I easily get diarrhea if I have too many shakes, which never happened before.
My food volume and hunger are still intense. Meals can double in size or frequency. It's not hard at all to eat 16oz ground red meat with 3 cups of rice, then still be a bit hungry.
Since the edema has decreased by about 50%, I can see that I'm staying much leaner in spite of the calorie spike, which is GREAT news for me.
I haven't notice ANY flush in the past week though when pinning. Doesn't matter if it's a new vial or the last bit of water. I hope I'm continuing to respond the same.
No hand or CTS issues.
Dreams are still pretty lucid and vivid.
Weight- 270 AM, mid 270's by night fall.
