Jardiance was a terrible drug for me. I got rashes and genital swelling and yeast. Horrible. It all stopped after I quit jardiance.

Congestive heart failure with low EF (30 down from 40 nine years ago). Subjectively I feel better using Jardiance now for three months. I use a treadmill every other day for fifty minutes at 15% grade and 6.5 km for thirty minutes, working up to and back down. Average heart rate of 120 is around about 85% of max (141). I use light weights and do free exercises alternately with treadmill. These exercises, especially the treadmill, seem easier to tolerate now than they did before Jardiance. I've had none of the side effects mentioned by others. My diastolic dropped from the fifties to the forties and even 38-39 occasionally. It's not something I notice unless I'm checking my blood pressure. It was 39 when I visited the hospital a few few days ago. My doctor changed my dosage to MWF from every day.
It's an expensive drug, so using about half as much will help financially. I live in SE Asia for most of the year so I have no insurance to pay for drugs. Fortunately they are much cheaper here than in U.S.
Hopefully the reduced dosage will not affect how I feel using the treadmill.
