[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 550598, member: 3419"] Hound Dog, I have learned that my feedback if valuable for my doctors. Sometimes pts have reactions and never tell the dr. (Of course, if they're dead, they can't talk!) If we explain things quickly and clearly, and unequivocably (iow, it could not have been a reaction from something else) doctors will listen and respond (and record). In that respect, they rely on us as much as we rely on them. I am glad you were able to create a working relationship with-your nephrologist. DDD, that reminds me--my former bff took Boniva for awhile and it was very expensive. When she found out about the side effects, she took it every other day. She rationalized that not only did she save money, but she wouldn't have the permanent side effects it caused. :) [/QUOTE]
