[QUOTE="rinfrance, post: 279567, member: 38884"] Hi, I was put on Glucaphage some 11 years ago, sick, stifness, and god knows what else. I was put on Novamix, eventually chest pains on left side some sort of weird reaction, continued and told its not the insulin (oh yes it was) anyway was put on another metformin but was told it was something else! (Stagid) After 2 hours I was on morphine as the pain was so severe. Silly quack carried on and after 3 days was "stuck" on the side of my bed. Severe muscle lock up weird BP's, and I got you better not take anymore! So I was put on Actrapid. chest pains gone, and the only problem is the shoulder freeze and middle finger lock up both of which are "cured" by 1000 ug of B12 per day! This is not yet really accepted here in France, so I guess the same applies to both Metformin and other insulins that cause frozen left shoulder! I did a test myself just using Marmite and the problem went, gave some to a french friend who had been crippled for about 5 years. He is not now! Your muscle pains are almost certainly the lack of B12. Anyway you know the quick test, and you can buy B12 in the chemist really cheaply as this is what vegetarians have to have! Please let me know if your problem goes, it will only take 2-3 days. [/QUOTE]
