Agnes Phillips –
I have taken some Lasix for my edema that has been my problem for months. The swelling wasn’t too noticeable at first so I didn’t think I needed medications for it. I was also hoping that it would just subside on its own. Unfortunately it didn’t, and even got worse. That was when I finally decided to take the necessary medications. After a several days of taking Lasix, my feet’s swelling showed signs of reduction until it was completely gone. I can walk straight now and can freely show my feet without feeling embarrassed.
