Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Posted December 2, 2006 Sue I take 80mg of Lasix every morning. Unfortunately diuretics do nothing for circulation type water retention. The ONLY thing that helps is keeping feet above heart and that is hard to do. I just can't be bed ridden. I'm going to doc next week and see if there is anything else I can do. Thanks for the prayers, much needed here.
