Thank you very much for your kind comment, that means much. ~ It's been a rough road in the arena with my medical care. I am very angry at myself for ever submitting to taking Pantoprazole with me knowing how dangerous PPI's are. This is from Google: Latest Proton Pump Inhibitor Lawsuit Updates As of June 2024, 18,668 people in the U.S. have filed lawsuits against PPI manufacturers after developing renal problems. Of these cases, 12,769 are still active as the settlement process is underway.
Look how many People developed renal problems taking PPi's!!!!! This is just the USA!
I kept getting reassured PPI's are safe with short term use. I took Pantoprazole on and off for approx. 3-4 months. I took Famotidine20mg pretty regularly which is a H2 blocker antagonist. What angers me beyond words is the gas lighting from my former PCP who is no longer my doctor.For months I begged her to please order a BMP for me.She kept refusing. IF she would have put in the order for me at least 2 months ago, like I begged her to do, I could have found out sooner my creatinine was elevated & my GFR was substantially lower and I would have immediately stopped all those meds! I spoke with a nurse this morning and asked her to please tell mt new Doctor to order a Cystatin C blood test, I guess these are more accurate than a BMP. ~ I stopped all my medications after I saw my results. No more PPI's , H2 blockers or sucralfate. I pray my next blood work there will be improvement.
