Hi

Sorry you are having a hard time. Where is the fluid accumulating? Is it the hands and ankles? Has your doctor not suggested a diuretic. I take a diuretic but it is for high BP. Evening primrose oil is supposed to be helpful. I have also heard that black cohosh is good during the menopause although it has had mixed press.

Best wishes

Yes, i've heard of evening primose, you could go to a health shop and ask their advice or look it up on the net. I know that my doctors where i work do not recommend HRT anymore. Angie.x

It takes a minute to get anxiety, but a lifetime to get rid of it!!!
