I agree - so far lasix is just another set of pills - vene tried to stage them through the day... no results.. and the compression stckings - do not tend to stop the pitting edema... I may look up...
I am glad that you are out of the hospital.... Nice place to visit (sigh) lousy place to be as a patient... Take time, I kept pushing and am just coming back... Your strong spirit is what motivates...
