I've just started taking Metformin since last Friday.One 500mg twice a day,before breakfast and then one before my evening meal.I started having the sick feeling on Saturday afternoon which I can put up with,but then on Sunday afternoon started having servere stomache pains then really bad diarreah :shock:
That cleared up then last night when in bed had to get up and rush to the toilet where I had a vomiting episode.Today I feel a bit weak and am going to our surgery this morning to see if I can get something sorted as I can't carry on like this,unless of course it gets better with time :?:
I have weighed myself this morning and still the same weight but since taking Metformin have lost 2.5lb which altogether is 16.5lb since Nov09
I suffer with PCOS so find it quiet hard to lose weight and am pleased with the weight loss so far.I wasn't sure whether it is the meds I am taking or something I have eaten so will see what the nurse has to say.
I think in the end i will have to get one of those meter thngies to check my glucose levels as all i was told was the bog standard advice about a low GI diet etc,but haven't a clue how my sugar levels are coping at the moment.
Thanks for listening and will let you know how I get on
