[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3201969, member: 23"] I don’t know what it is with my endocrinologists. I’ve seen three in the last three years. The last two were from Syria and I don’t know where this one is from. About the time I learn to pronounce their name correctly, they leave. Anywho, my most recent endocrinologist reviewed my meds. As soon as she saw I was taking Farxiga, she took me off of it right then and wrote a script for Jardiance saying that Farxiga was reported to cause heart problems. I make it a point to visit all my various specialized doctors on a regular basis and review my meds. In some cases there are disagreements between one doctor or another about what I should or should not be taking. When this happens, I emphasize that the two doctors discuss it together and come to an agreement. I started doing this after my family doctor decided on his own to lessen the dosage of a diuretic that my cardiologist had prescribed. The result was a sudden and dramatic gain in water weight that put me in some serious respiratory distress for about three months. Once the two doctors had a conversation and compared notes and adjusted my meds accordingly, I lost a lot of the water weight and things went back to normal and getting better. I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and told four years ago that I was eighteen months away from open heart surgery for a heart valve replacement. At my last exam, the doc ordered an echocardiogram. When the results came back, the cardiologist said that my condition had actually improved slightly from the last years test results. In our older years, we need to stay in close contact with the doctors and make a point to review all meds frequently. There have been numerous times while checking out I’m given a copy of my med list on file and I’ve compared with the list I keep on my phone and found inconsistencies. Stay up to date on everything and make a point to mention it on the next visit. [/QUOTE]
