[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 207444, member: 1233"] The test for lupus is an ANA, or anti-nuclear antibody test. It is not the only test. I took aldactone for quite a while for water retention. It really helped during my periods after thank you was born. I would bloat up 30 lbs or more. Aldactone is a potassium sparing diuretic, so you don't get low potassium as you might with other diuretics. It did make me FEEL a lot better. I hope you don't have lupus, but it would be a good idea to read up on it. ONLY read new info, DO NOY go find an old book and read about lupus. When my mom was first diagnosis'd with it my bro was inthe Army, about to go to Germany. He went to the base library and read some books about it. They said that lupus was terminal, and would give a life expectnacy of 2-5 years. I think most of those books are gone, but he was terribly frightened. Now they KNOW that lupus is NOT a terminal disease, so I don't want you or DF or Dude to go read something in an old library and get scared. Big Gentle Hugs! Susie [/QUOTE]
