Hi
I just feel I need to share this with Pcos sufferers.
I'm once again in Pcos remission due long term Metformin.
I'm delighted. I only found out by chance. An abdomenal scan which was able to pick up ovaries too.
I've always sang Metformin's praises but I can official declare it's a metformin only treatment result.
I currently cannot walk much due to lower back pain (being investigated).
I'm weighing 20st+ so not due to keeping weight low.
My periods are now regular and I can rely on their pain severity, every other month (maybe due to clubbed right ovary with adhersions on skin like cover).
I'm more relaxed about my Pcos status.
Thank you Metformin and all the medical teams who use it on their patients.
Just goes to show Metformin helps with a multitude of conditions. It is a life saver for my higher bgs too.
I had to stop it's treatment for 3 days surrounding my coronary angiogram, which went well. My bgs jumped up 2-3mmol/l after every meal without it and higher fbgs too.
Resumed it's treatment yesterday and looking forward to a 1-2kg weight loss on weigh-in friday next week.
Appetite depressant or just carb craving blocker? What's another thread, me thinks.
Well done to everyone managing Metformin not just for diabetes but for other medical conditions!
