At first it was okay. Then gradually I noticed my feet are swollen & body weight varies up to 3 to 4 lbs AM and PM. I also experience shortness of breathe. In the meantime, my vision got worse. Some blood leakage and treated by laser. I was taken off Avandia and all the symptoms are gone. I am a registered pharmacist and I am glad that I stopped taking this medication.
