Hi Doris,

I've talked to people who managed ascites longer than I did, so I'm not sure how long it can be managed. I was on a low dosage of diuretics and others are on high dosage. The diet is critical and I was religious about it.

When they drained me, I was so bloated none of my clothes would fit except an old track suit I had but it fit like a glove. Everytime I'd move it hurt as it seemed like my flesh was tearing. I could barely walk. So in my case I guess it was extreme. It is best not to let it go without getting it treated and start to manage it.

It can be managed, but you cannot ignore it.
