She also wanted me to start taking a statin, but only after I've seen how things go with the metformin, as I have M.E which can make you more sensitive to drugs. I have noticed I keep falling asleep a lot during the day and I've had much more muscle an joint pain since starting to take metformin.   Although I have M.E I haven't had problems with falling to sleep during the day before and pain has been mostly more of a dull aching like you get when you have flu. This pain is worse, although not unbearable. Is it more usual to be sleepy and have muscle/joint pain when starting to take this drug? Of course this might not be a side effect at all. It could just be my M.E flaring.Paul</blockquote>
