minimal change disease - recent diagnosis questions
Hi,
I was recently diagnosed with MCD after a norovirus infection on April 2. I did a biopsy on the following Monday, and a few days later, they confirmed that I do, in fact, have MCD. I went into the hospital weighing 110 lbs (which is slightly overweight for me), and I left the hospital at 128. So about 20 lbs of water weight gain in 10 days. I've been on 80 mg Lasix and 60mg prednisone for maybe 2.5 weeks now (give or take), and the weight hasn't budged at all. I am curious if this is normal? For reference, I am 24 y/o female with no previous health issues. I don't want to be impatient, but I did expect to see some progress by now. Any advice would be super helpful! Also, I am very intentional about my sodium intake. When did you all start seeing the water weight "fall off"?
