Has anyone had problems getting help because of a adrenal insufficiency. I'm storing so much fluid that I can't walk and it even gets hard to eat their is so much fluid every where I feel full after one bite I have tried water pills and even asked about them draining it. They act draining it due to the insufficiency and the fluid is on the outside of the vessels so the pill won't work either any info would be greatly appreciated oh and I'm TNMBC STAGE 4 has spread to liver,sholder bone

Managing severe fluid retention with adrenal insufficiency presents unique challenges that many in the community may relate to. It sounds incredibly frustrating when standard treatments like diuretics aren't effective for your specific situation, and the physical discomfort you're describing would be difficult for anyone to handle. Others here who have dealt with complex fluid management issues alongside their cancer treatment may have valuable insights to share about what approaches worked for them or questions they found helpful to ask their medical teams.

You need to work closely with your oncologist on this. Hope you're feeling better!
