Yesterday morning, I woke up to painfully throbbing fingertips and eyes so puffy it looked like I had been crying the previous night. The reason? Water retention – from the pre-chemo steroid or Taxol or fake PMS or maybe all three. I tried sweating out the fluid with a long walk Sunday morning. I followed up the walk with a whole day devoted to drinking lots of water. I tried drinking a Diet Coke to see if its diuretic properties could provide some relief. I walked again in the evening and even ate a lot of watermelon. Unfortunately, all my efforts proved futile.
