Well, *mostly* these days, I stay pretty hydrated, which doesn't seem to have a huge effect on the foot/leg craps; I think they're probably more because of the Advair I use, which contains salmeterol -- a potassium thief like you wouldn't believe. Hence the coconut water, a terrific source of potassium. I think I've just let the soda drinking get out of hand, since discovering real-sugar Pepsi in those small 8oz cans -- the high-fructose corn syrup Pepsis taste like disinfectant to me, so I quit drinking them when they went to using that shit. But now I can get the REAL Pepsis again, and just went a little nuts.
My regimen yesterday, of about 60 oz of water and 20oz of coconut water seems to have done a good job, though; my big toe barely hurt at all when I got up, mainly just a bit of residual pain I think, and the soreness in the muscle just above my right ankle (which I get when the edema is bad) also is much less. So I drank the same 20oz of water when I got up that I drank yesterday, had just the one cup of real tea, and have now switched to decaf... I'll continue with the rest of the water/coconut water today again, and hopefully by the weekend, the edema and soreness will be completely gone as it was before I went crazy with Pepsi.
I shall return to my 1 or 2 a month instead of 1 or 2 a day.
