This meant sending an obituary to the Flickr team to prove the member is no longer with us.
I've now been promoted to Admin and we will elect one other committee member to share that roll. That means that should this ever happen again, the club will have in place another Admin to retain control over the group and not get locked out!

Anyhow, back to your question.

Yes pretty much to what you have said, I was told that you will pee out about 300 calories a day (which is useful) and you will be more suseptible to things like thrush. So, good hygiene and keeping stuff like canesten cream very useful. One of the other things I have found is more problems with dry skin so I also have moisturiser etc.
Being diabetic I'm always aware of being dehydrated so I drink lots of fluid during the day.
I've been on this medication for two years now supplementing my Metformin, Gliclazide, Ezetimbe (alternative to statins) and Ramipril!
Morning all

Morning sir!

Thank you Jeff for your experiences from being on Jardiance. I was also started on Ezetimbe in addition to the Rosuvastatin.

Interestingly the doctors told me to cut down on the amount of amount of fluids I am drinking because they feel I drink too much at 2L per day. In a hot country I don’t want to end up dehydrated but will have to cut down a bit. I stopped drinking coffee because the new medication for the enlarged prostate is making me pee more. What a laugh

Thank you for the information about maintaining cleanliness and the precautions you take.

Next week I am seeing the podiatrist and a skin cancer specialist to have some unsightly growths on my head removed. I prefer liquid nitrogen ice to the knife, a downside of life in the tropics.

I thought I would get as many as my health issues addressed before coming to the UK

Being an administrator for your club on Flickr is quite a responsibility, but full marks to you Jeff for stepping up. I know you will be up to the task.

Have a great day
