Comment:
I've been on Bumex for a full month. I have not lost any water weight. The swelling in my feet was so bad I was afraid to touch them lest they burst. The swelling has gone down a lot, but not completely. I was taking 1 mg twice a day for 2 weeks, then 2 mg twice a day for two weeks, and beginning today, I'm on 2 mg three times a day.
