@nycmusic that’s SO true! I’m on Jardiance for heart issues. That med can cause kidney damage so my cardiologist checks bloodwork regularly. Reclast has a high risk of kidney damage too. I expressed my concern to my primary doc about the 2 meds and she simply said that her concern was my bones and I’d have to work that out with the cardiologist about the Jardiance! What?! I thought doctors consulted with each other for the benefit and safety of their shared patient! I felt she basically said I’d have to decide which was I willing to accept: kidney failure, heart failure or bone fractures! Omg. And she’s been an excellent doctor until this diagnosis. And that’s just an issue with one medication. There’s also my meds for other issues. I always think wait until they get to our age and they’re faced with competing diagnoses and meds. Ugh. I don’t know who came up with the idea of our “Golden Years”! lol.
