I am okay with the not swelling…but going around in a circle is all too familiar in other areas of this MerryGoRound of congestive heart failure 😨

I take 60mg Lasik 2 x daily and then spironolactone 25mg 1 x daily and metolazone 2.5 mg 1 every 3-4 days. And I do watch my sodium intake. That maintains me well, but it's a lot of pills.

I’m sorry Robin, but I have been fortunate that my Lasix does what it is supposed to without any problems! Good Luck and I will keep you in my prayers!💕

I had a problem with my feet and ankles swelling a lot and my Primary put me on Lasix- as long as I take it daily It stays mostly under control as long as I stay on a low sodium diet. If I ignore the diet part I have a problem.
