Watch that lasix, too, Amy. It'll suck K (potassium) out of you. Ifyou're not on a K suppliment you should be with lasix. If not,eat lots of nanners (bananas). Any muscle cramps/weakness on lasix, call your doc, k?

Sherry

Well, there are so many components and it's like most things where we

shouldn't jump to conclusions nor take the answer of anyone short of the

true decision makers. We have to continue through our lifetimes as our
