Renal Failure?

I have been having big issues with my kidneys and the fact that they cannot filter protein. I read an article this morning that kidney damage can be done by taking a prescription medication like Naproxen. Granted I already had some type of issue going on, but Naproxen happens to be one of the prescriptions drugs that I was taking and I have to wonder if this contributed to it.

It bothers me that this wasn’t flagged by the doctor or even by the pharmacy. It was flagged by the insurance company – but about 2 months after I had been taking it, I got a letter in the mail from them stating that it could be causing damage and it conflicted with existing issues/prescriptions. I wish some of these things would have been flagged more quickly.

I think it’s definitely time to get out of Vegas for a second opinion.
