My pcp gave me maxide for bp, but lately my bp is low , I am going off of the Maxide, it is a shame but you have to research your own health issues, you can't depend on Drs. My pcp is supposed to call me this week about the new rheumy referrel. I will be calling him ifnot, and at that time I am going to ask him about the GFR and ask for a blood work slip to check it again.
Yes I need a good rheumy who will assess everything. I am also on Nexium, whichI am going off of , I will take pepcid when needed for heartburn. I take the prinivil and norvasc, bp meds, and folic acid , prednisone daily, and once a week the methotrexate, I take lipitor and singulair and 81mg aspirin.
I agree, with getting the Kidney specialist. This whole thing has me bonkers....
I know the methotrexate has helped my RA pain 100 percent, but is it worth it if it is ruining my Kidneys, I am hoping if I go off the Maxide and hydrate mroe that that will help.
Thank you
