Swelling during that TOM...

I normally swell a little during that TOM, but this time it was ridiculous! I couldn't even put my wedding rings on and my hands actually hurt. Does anyone know of any natural diuretics that actually work?

Thanks!

    Increase your dietary potassium.

    Cucumbers are a natural diuretic and seem to work great on every part of the body except for my breast. Regardless of how many I eat during that TOM, they still look like melons.

    green tea and asparagus are great diuretics.

    Dealing with this currently. I usually just drink a bunch of water and avoid the scales. The whole thing lasts about 2 weeks honestly. I start to retain water a week before TOM, and doesn't completely go away until almost a week after.
