long and run out to say the least

I had 2+ edema in my legs and actually most of my body. (even my face) I take 40 mgs of lasix and it has brought the swelling down. I run to the ladies restroom about 10 times a day, but it is worth it. The swelling caused much more fatigue, pain, and difficulty walking/using my joints.

Was on it for about 1 1/2 months along with a low sodium diet and LOTS of water intake I lost all my edema. Now just take as needed.
