Hi
the lasix is only a temporary solution to edema. If you are retaining fluid as a response to treatment or disease, it will just keep coming back. I took lasix daily because I was on a high dose of prednisone (60mg a day) and the fluid build up was making it difficult to breath. Now that I am down to 5mg, I only take the lasix as needed for fluid, not as a weight control.
Weight is a factor for just about all of us because of treatment. I went from 120lbs to 165lbs (size 6 to 16). After 2 yrs I just had to accept my new self and move on. I stopped looking at the weight as "vanity pounds" and decided to embrace the new me. Maybe one day I will be thin with long hair, but right now I just want to survive and if these extra pounds are part of the deal, then it's time for a new wardrobe.
