Having using this forum since finding out I have PCOS - and it being very supportive, I thought I would write my journey. It may help others. May 2016, found out I was pregnant, July 2016 miscarried whilst in China teaching over the summer. 4 months before I started period again. Nov to April ovulation

Metformin could be beneficial, esp combined with Ruxo
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41419-017-0256-4 Very interesting, scroll down to impact on JAK2 mutation Early days but exciting because Metformin easily available and well tolerated. I’m told by diabetic friend who is taking it that only side effect was initial flatulence!

I wish it was morning sickness...
So had a wonderful 12 hours straight of throwing up and not keeping any fluids down with back pain. So rang my GP as NHS direct were concerned I wasn’t holding any fluids down and back pain = kidneys etc. So I knew that every single person in my life would say ‘Are you sure you’re not pregnant’ . So

Restless leg syndrome??
Hi everyone. I am a 39 year old female. And think I might be suffering restless leg syndrome? It is more my feet than my legs which are bothering me. I don't get this every night. But when I do my feet feel very uncomfortable with a creeping crawling feeling . And I am unable to keep them still.

Can I stop taking metformin?
Since May 2017 I have been reducing my carb intake and also doing intermittent fasting - I skip breakfast. My doctor has taken out Dibizide M from my prescription and I am now on just 250 mg metformin at night. I also do a 36 or 48 hour water fast once a week. My HbA1c has come down to 5.4 from 6.4 and

Why might my T4 be going up and T3 going down, on the same T4 dose?
Hi all, I feel like I am going round in circles with my thyroid :-(. I've been on 100mcg T4 for 1.5 years. My results had not changed in a year and were as follows last November: TSH: 0.01 (0.27 - 4.2) T4: 16.3 (12 - 22) T3: 4.6 (3.1 - 6.8) Then I experimented with night-time dosing over 6 weeks, but

Can metformin start causing side effects after you have been taking it for a long time?
I have been taking metformin since this past summer but for the past few months, I have been having really bad shortness of breath to the point of it being painful. I also just found out that metformin can cause b12 deficiency as well as shortness of breath. I will be having my b12 levels checked later

Do I need to go to hospital?!
Since Friday I’ve been getting stomach pain. Friday night I was vomitting and Sunday night I was vomitting. I am never sick at all I’m currently taking 2 metformin tablets a day only because taking more will make me seriously ill. I have told my consultant but he just ignored me🙏🏻. Other symptoms

ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (postdiagnostic Metformin and Statin use & PCa mortality)
Note that one should be clear that Metformin users & Statin users represent populations that may have PCa risks quite different from the general PCa population. For instance, while diabetics have a reduced risk of PCa, they have increased PCa mortality risk, albeit lowered in Metformin users. Studies

My symptoms are: Fatigue, muscle/joint pain, can't get warm, no sex drive, puffy eyes in am, no weight loss since June 2017 and occational palpitations. My diet is nutritious but as I have PCOS so calorie intake is 1365 which should enable weight loss

Opinion on radiation to bone mets.
My husband, Jeff, is Stage 4 metastatic, G9 with 11 bone mets. History : RP 9/13/17 (PSA was 52), pathology showed "involvement" in two of the four lymph nodes that were removed. First ADT injection was 9-27-17 (Eligard). This was all that could/should be done according to the urologist/surgeon.

Change of medication
Hi I'm type 2 have been on 500g Metformin for 6 years. My nurse changed my perscription to Sukkarto SR 500g . I've been taking them for 2 months. My weight has dropped 8 pounds! I feel so much better and my readings have improved too. Has anyone else experienced this with a change of medication?
