I started taking Farxiga in Aug. 23 and I was surprised because for the longest time, it appeared to be not causing me any side effects, except for peeing more. However, in the last month, I started having trouble with both of my hips feeling like someone was sticking a knife in them, especially when seated. I also had lower back pain and at first, I didn't even think that it could be the med, but I ask my Dr. about it and he told me to lay off of it for awhile to see if things got better. I've been off it for three days now and my hips and back have already quit hurting. I'm not a diabetic, but he had given it to me because I'm stage 3A CKD and thought it would preserve my kidneys.

Was looking into Farxiga as my dr mentioned i may be a good fit. Very informative in explaining the how's and why's! Thank you!

[@davidcarroll8735]

Farxiga worked against my health! My vision blurred, I had arthroses pains because this medication dehydrated my arthroses and the dehydration augmented the pressure in my eyes and now I have to prevent glaucoma! It's strange to me that I had all these side effects because I was drinking a lot of water! I made a recherche and found that Farxiga creates major acidity in the body and that is a great problem for arthroses because the body tries to become more alkalic and "steal" from the bones Calcium. And as a result weakens the bones and the muscles..

@@doodybobodo5531 Thank you for the answer. Hopefully after 10 days that I don't take Farxiga anymore and take Berberine instead the pains almost disappeared. But I need a pill in addition to berberine of 750mg that I take daily and I don't know which to take that has not much side effects because I also tried metformin and caused me gi troubles.. My diabetes doctor proposed me to take insulin shots but I hesitate..

Been on Jardiance a week, so far, more side effects then benefit. Very expensive drug to wait 24 weeks for full effects. I experience lightheaded feelings, my voice has become horse and feeling more fatigued. Drinking more than enough water, but still think the drug is not doing much good.

I agree ,good thing my insurance covered it ,$2100 dollars for 90 day .yow !!

[@savcam1]

[@julieprior3126]

Excellent video. Very clear, with sufficient info without overload. I started JARDIANCE 2 weeks ago and the ++urination subsided to normal after just 2 or 3 days but it is a bit crazy at first. 🤞so far so good!
