[Diabetes-talk] {Spam?} Question Regarding Inkovana

[Bernadette Jacobs]

I had a number of side effects from the Invokana. One of which was a yeast infection that lasted a full year. Once I got myself off of this stuff, it took me and never three months to rid myself of the horrible yeast. And yes. During that year I had three urinary tract infection I lost nearly 20 pounds. But, it sure wasn't worth the rest of it. It was miserable. I'm not going to try another one of any of those things. I don't care what it is. Going to have to be pretty good before I try something like that again.
