Experiences with

Metformin / Glipizide

I had a follow-up MRI and met with my Neurologist/NF Specialist yesterday. There is no sign of recurrence of the brain tumor. In fact, it seems I have a rather healthy brain for someone age 69. There is less cortical ischemia than many my age have and no signs that would indicate a risk of developing

Has anyone seen this study from China? https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/cell-and-developmental-biology/articles/10.3389/fcell.2021.685522/full [i]Findings: We found that metformin indeed had a therapeutic effect on mice with HT mainly by reducing TgAb and lymphocyte infiltration in thyroid tissue

After almost two years on Ibrance and letrezole, I had progression. I only have mets to my liver. It was discovered I have the Pik3CA mutation. In late December I started Ibrance, Fulvesterant, and Itovebi. Within a few days, my glucose level went to over 300. The Itovebi was stopped for a few days,

I started 1.5mg Bisoprolol last March and a few weeks ago I noticed a rash on my upper arms. I went to my local pharmacist but they were no help and advised me to get an appointment with my GP... Some hope. I'm on quite a cocktail of drugs including Ranolozine, Amlodipine, Isosorbide Mononitrate, Metformin

Just an update for anyone and maybe hopefully it may help someone (?) sorry it’s a long one… Vencamil is sadly causing the same reaction for me but I’m going to stick it out for a bit longer and see if things worsen or calm. But seems like all levothyroxine and liothyronine (combined/mono/varying dosages

I have come across this advertisement for a proposed new treatment of Hashimoto’s. I am sharing the article in case anyone has heard of this or tried it . Apologies as I posted without sharing article previously! I can’t copy the full article so have had to copy sections below. Hopefully, someone cleverer

YES, this time I am in need of your research! 😜 I will have a PET scan in January, and that will be followed by a nice talk with my MO. I want to show him data from trials to convince him that in my condition some metformin would do me good (for metabolic syndrome and also because there seems to

Honestly, I did not know that we did not know how this drug worked but...here it comes... A new study in [i]Science Advances[/i] has found that metformin lowers blood sugar by interfering with mitochondria, the cell's "powerhouse". The drug specifically blocks mitochondrial complex I, reducing

I have been on Metformin for going on 20 odd years, in the past six months or so I have had bad flatulance, I read somewhere online that Metformin is the cause of flatulance.. Can anyone confirm if this is true. An embarassed Don(Veteran250)

Apologies if this is posted on the wrong site but I’m hoping for answers on a couple of basic questions relating to IDA and I’m not sure where to turn. During the Summer I felt increasingly fatigued and suffered dizziness on standing up plus occasional racing heart on the least exertion. My GP brought

I have had PMR since March 2019, stress-induced. I quickly became diabetic after starting prednisone. I'm currently on Metformin and have an Hb1Ac of 43, so it's not too bad. I'm on 2.25mg prednisone, on a dead slow taper. I also take Leuflonamide as a steroid-sparing agent after several flares and a

I would not do it for OS, but the other parameters are quite interesting... Hormone therapy is a highly effective treatment for prostate cancer; however, it is known to cause metabolic side effects like weight gain and insulin resistance, increasing the risk of other health problems like diabetes, heart

Hi everyone, We did our first round of IVF back in September. We’ve had to go private because my BMI is around 34. Disappointingly we ended up with just one day 6 frozen embryo which we did a FET with last Wednesday. During our egg collection I had 8 follicles, collected 3 eggs, two fertilised and

Why: We know that leriglitazone/MIN-102 is effective at slowing the progression of AMN and greatly reducing the risk of cerebral involvement, but unless I'm missing something, it's not available to me here in the US currently. But its prodrug, pioglitazone, is, and given that leriglitazone is one of

Hi all - Sorry for the long post. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and diabetes 10 years ago. I’ve been on 125g thyroxine and metformin for my diabetes. This time last year I the most awful itching rash (urticaria) . After taking high doses of steroids drugs and anti histamines I finally

Hi, I’ve surprisingly had a positive pregnancy test following my third cycle of letrozole (first and only time I’ve responded to letrozole). Feeling very surprised, shocked and happy. I’m day 17 post trigger shot / day 16 post ovulation. I told my fertility clinic Friday of the positive test and

Hi, I've been on Ibrance and anastrozole for 7 years. The Ibrance got toxic, so I had 2 recurrences. We lowered the Ibrance to 75 mg. No problem. But I was still concerned so we added Metformin.
