Kidney Malfunction

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Elizabethton, TN

Is there any RA medication that will not destroy your kidneys?
If so what are they!
I have to be careful about what I take for anything! Primary says he won't start me on ortho meds. because of the condition of my kidneys.
I know that it sounds stupid but I am still living with pain24/7!

Oh yes the "Referral" I hate that! It seems the one they send u to is 20 or so miles away. I don't like long distances!!!

I went through something similar a few years ago then needed my primary to direct me with a referral. We are all on the same university campus so thankfully it was an easy ordeal finding someone just took a month to obtain the visit. I hope everything gets straightened out quickly Doris!
