It sounds like there are a LOT of us with similar issues! Like George, I did pick up Farxiga from the pharmacy and held it for a while. However, at the urging of my nephrologist, I have now started it (one day, so far no issues :-)). I have a renal function panel scheduled for 2 weeks. It is interesting that she thinks we will see a difference in just 2 weeks!

Since my cardiologist also recommended it (either Farxiga or Jardiance), I was being 'encouraged' by both specialists to try it. I am extremely concerned about the possible side effects, but have decided to give it a try. I would certainly like to see my eGFR stable. I will keep everyone posted.

Several people mentioned medications that caused issues with their eGFR. This is my experience. I don't know if any others of you have experienced AFib. I found that when I was on medications for AFib, my GFR plummeted (it went down to 12). In fact, when I stopped the antiarrhythmics, my GFR went up enough that my nephrologist had me repeat the labs, as she was sure it was an error. So, if you are on any antiarrhythmics, that might be a factor in your low eGFR according to my personal experience.
