I take an anti-inflammatory twice a day and it really helps me to relieve water retention. (75 mg Dicloflonec twice a day along with misoprostol to protect the stomach)I get a lot of water retention on my body. I read somewhere that it could be due to inflammation making the capilliaries leaky. It makes me feel so uncomfortable. Does anyone have any experience of sorting this symptom out? It is not due to the menstrual cycle.

Lethal Lee, are there any reference materials you could suggest I read? Your post is interesting but I don't understand it well enough......your electrolyte levels, were these the levels done at a routine blood drawn requested by a primary care?
I have noticed in the hot summer months, I have a much more difficult time, and certainly the heat and humidity could deplete those electrolytes. I love sea salt. It tastes SO much better than the refined salts.

And I also recognise the problem some of you describe of feeling that my blood volume is too low while most of the body water is in the tissues
