Am terminally ill, irreparable brain damage, epilepsy, so can't do much exercise! Was on metformin from start of diabetes 2 in 2020, found my blood sugar level was 88, have been dieting lost 2 half stone, cholesterol not too bad, so they have put me on just Jardiance 10mg a day! Am taking medication for epilepsy Vimpat, Briviact; Lisinopril high blood pressure [been taking those decades, once you get on those HBP's, on them for life🙄.] Just rather alarmed such a small amount 10mg Jardiance a day?

Beginning to feel effects of Jardiance, meant to be a 'wonder' drug, GP scared of my high blood sugar 88, but loo visits, plenty of stool, and high amount of water, cold water actually feeling very refreshing? Good for the kidney, surely, cleansing? I am retired, but making me more 'retired' than ever! Trying to get comeback on this Empaglaflozin/Jardiance drug anybody else had used this for Diabetes 2?

Latest update of side effects of Jardiance, the skin blotchy, my left thumb caught in a mouse trap a couple of months ago, usual purple mark under the nail, but now noticeable mark on reverse of thumb, obviously taken for to lower blood sugar level in liver, could it affect blood related conditions in the body as well, my osteoporosis in my rib cage structure, hopefully not dormant schwannomas from my rare Schwannomatosis NF3 condition will have to be looked out for?
