Thus if you maintain your well hydrated state the diuretic should not do

This reminds me of a question I have been needing to ask: I have a lot of
"water-weight gain" each month and this affects my vocal cords-they feel
edematous just like ALL the rest of me. Would taking a mild diuretic at this
time adversely affect my cords? As it is, my singing voice is NOT what it
should be for about one week a month, I thought maybe a diuretic might
actually help my voice especially if I drink enough water. What do you guys
think?
