Had mild headaches for a day or two, Don't know if its due to the smell or me getting used to the stuff.

I appreciate your analness about this "problem", but it is advertised as such all over the internet so it's really not surprising that folks refer to it that way.

Btw, I've heard the word "dairy"[products] used no less than 4 times recently on television as a noun, including once on "The Office" and once by a physician discussing diet issues, so I would guess it's not as inappropriate as you think.

I'm hoping I can dissuade other people from such a peculiar usage as that. If I make fun of it enough, I think people will stop and think about what they're saying.

I guess there's more of the hillbilly in some people than I had realized.

How bad is it? If you watch all the sodium you eat and cut it down big time you will minimize this.But its annoying.

Try dandelion root extract, clears up water retention. It's a good herbal to strenghten kidney function.

Then your only choice would be Lasix, that will clear it up, but make sure you take a potassium supplement, ie SlowK, with it.

I know it sounds a bit stupid, but what is water retention? Never really understood this side-effect.
