Need tips on taking metformin
Hi everyone. I'm on metformin at 250mg twice a day. The doc plans to increase it at my next appointment. My problem is the GI side effects. The gas I can handle but not the diarrhea. I've tried taking it before meals, after meals and during meals. I still get hit and barely make it to the bathroom.

Metformin update
Well, I wasn’t able to confirm ovulation my last cycle although I did get lots of high fertility results on the clear blue opk... and i got my period yesterday. Does make you feel crappy but obviously it’s not going to be easy guess I will just keep trying. I just purchased some ovulation sticks much

Weight Loss possibilities
I am interested in the weight loss opportunities of taking Glucophage aka Metformin, as to the best of my knowledge, I don't have (yet) Type 2 diabetes.

Metformin weight loss/doctors
Hi, I went to a fertility specialist. He diagnosed me with pcos. He was very knowledgeable on the subject, I felt like a lot made sense. He put me on Metformin (at the time, to conceive) but he said a lot about insulin levels etc and the Metformin would level it out. With exercise and healthy eating

Metformin
I have ran out of metformin, and no longer have insurance is there anywhere I can buy it online without a prescription? I had found a site but I can’t find it anywhere!

How to prevent a healthy gut [Indeed,] high amounts of sugar and meat make things worse. [Exacerbate gut pathology.].
A new study out of the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands details the type of diet that was found to fuel the growth of healthy gut bacteria, particularly strains that have anti-inflammatory effects in the body. The results aren’t terribly surprising — that is to say, you’ll have

Metformin. Anyone else vomiting & headaches? How long will this last?
I'm on 750mg x 3 daily and I can't handle it. Constant thing headache, nausea, vomited for the first time yesterday. Is this normal? It's been my 4th week on 3 x daily and seems to be getting worse. Yesterday I cut all carbs and it was my worst day yet...if it gets better when? I started gradually first

Excited!
Great news! Looks like I will be ovulating this cycle... got a high fertility result on my ovulation test. Woohoo Praise God! 🎉 🙌🏻 . Which I’m guessing means tomorrow I will officially be ovulating? I gotta say I’m pretty excited to finally ovulate, also I did notice lots of different symptoms during

Changed diabetic meds and now feeling PMRy
Hello ladies and gents. I am tired and achy. My fatigue levels are up and I am back to needing to pace myself more. Why I hear you ask. I am wondering (and am too tired to have a good rummage in the forum) was Metformin anti inflammatory? Or was it getting the diabetes treated that reduced inflammation

Pregnant, RA and headaches
Afternoon all. I am 16 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with RA approx. 4 weeks ago. I have been given Hydroxychloroquine and Sulfasalazine (4 Tablets a day) which I have been taking for approx. 3.5 weeks. I was feeling fine on them until last week and now I seem to get chronic headaches and neck pain

High BMI ladies... help! What treatment have you had and which clinics did you use?
My consultant has started to refuse to help; my BMI is over 35 and no matter what I try, it just won’t drop. I’ve had reactions to metformin and even though I was ill for 3+ weeks my weight didn’t drop by much! I need to find somewhere that will give us a chance... it’s desperation time. I feel so low

The latest MS research shows positive results from Metformin and alternate days fasting. However, I am sure I’ve read somewhere that it can worsen RLS. It’s used for type 2 diabetes but repurposing the drug for MS has shown encouraging results. I definitely wouldn’t take it if it worsens RLS. Does anyone

Never been more determined
Hi everyone. I last wrote on here in June this year after I had just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I also have high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I felt so frightened with my diabetes that I immediately began eating from a smaller plate, eating healthily and cooking my own meals. I have

Finally, My First Dietician Consultation Yesterday!
As another newbie to CKD diagnosis and to this group, Sassymom, our stories are very similar but from a great deal of reading, unfortunately not that uncommon. A large, unexplained weight loss led to my PCP's ordering an ultra sound which reported: "suggestion of renal disease". My request to PCP for
