the only problem is I am severely allergic to sulfa drugs and with this med (diamox) from what i read would not be really able to take. I am not sure if i am mistaken on this. Also is not diamox also like HCTZ, if so need to be very careful because of lymphedema as it can exasperate it. But hey I am willing to try different things if it helps even if there is no explanation as to why it may help.
Here is full list allergies, meds, supplements, and conditions. This i think may also be helpful. The supplements may be stopped because of the IV infusions I take will know next week.
