It'sMyLife Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I just read a few days ago that salt without the florinef is usually not very effective because our kidneys will just work harder to get rid of the extra fluid and that's what the florinef stops them from doing. Anyone know anything about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I can't tolerate either Florinef or Midodrine, and my doctor still wants me to up my salt intake a lot. I just have to drink lots and lots of water to help flush it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat57 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I was instructed to "salt and water load", and did for about 4 years. As I have mentioned before, after menopause my BP came up. Therefore I don't need to do that anymore. I was also suppossed to take "some" potassium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
