Couldn't sleep last two nights

The last two nights I haven't really slept. Now, your solution might be to take sleeping pills, whereas I have never taken a sleeping pill in my whole life and don't ever intend to. Too many negative consequences. Besides, I'm retired it's not like I have to drive to work or anything like that.

But, the side affects to two tablets of spironolactone are hitting me. My wife confronted me this morning and I told her I would cry if she was bad to me. She and I immediately recognized this is a side affect of too much spironolactone in one day.

So, can't sleep and temporarily no testosterone. This sucks.

My God daughter who is here for a business convention just told me this happened to her when her appendix was removed in November or December I believe. She said this pain from gas and bloating only occurs about 2 days. So, hopefully by tomorrow I can lie down in my bed without terrible discomfort and pain so much I cannot sleep at all.

We have a living room couch with two electric lazy boys built into it. So, I lifted my legs over my head on the leg lift with two bed triangles of foam so my legs were above my head and this drained a lot of fluid out of my feet and legs and into my bladder which is a much better place for it to be.

Edema slowly getting better from two tablets of Spironolactone a day now. Hopefully, I can go back to old dosage by Wednesday of one split tab 1/2 morning and 1/2 night time.
