For Edema "I have been on Lasix for about a year. I think it's amazing! It does make my blood pressure a little low, and I've had problems with my potassium levels, but it's worth it for how well it works. I ran out of my medicine and couldn't fill my script yet. So I was without it for a week. I had severe edema. I mean I could barely climb stairs or take the one step on the porch without almost falling. Got my script and the water was just falling away like magic."

For Edema "I developed idiopathic (so far my docs are clueless) systemic inflammation over the course of 2 weeks or so. Plus, hypertensive crisis (202/110), never had BP problems before. I’m 5’5 and 120 lbs, but I looked like the Michelin Man after eating the Pillsbury Doughboy. Doc prescribed Lasix, wonder drug! Peed like a horse for 2 days, almost back to normal. Unfortunately, however, the inflammation seems to have damaged my epidermis. My skin from knees on up to my chest looks like I vomited cottage cheese over it. :("

For Edema "Much foot and leg swelling. Just finished 9 days of hospitalization for pneumonia. Took steroids for several days after discharge. As I quit the steroid, swelling started, so I ended up starting Lasix. Urination every 2 hours. I have high blood pressure. Atrial fibrillation. Tremendous sweating. Edema is slowly going down."
