Geez, it's the poster child of side effects answering again.
Right now you would think I was about 7 mos pregnant if you didn't know me (I am in maternity pants) all as a direct result of fluid retention in my abdomen due to steroids. Lasix keep fluid somewhat under control, but as long as you;re on steroids, you can't get rid of all the fluid till you go off permanently. It's one of the side effects. I also occasionally have fluid build up in my ankles, but usually if I eat alot of salty foods. Plenty of water will flush it away. I take 80mgs of lasix every morning.
