[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1178589, member: 41816"] If stopping the metformin helped, then taking some Q10 may get you back to full health more quickly. Well done for spotting it quickly and reacting quickly. We sometimes hear awful stories of people who have endured leg cramps and similar for years, without knowing that it was the metformin/statin (or whatever) that had been causing the problem. Your doc may suggest an alternate version, and it is entirely up to you whether you take it, but you may find it interesting to read up on the effectiveness/contraindications of whatever they suggest [B][I]before[/I][/B] you take it. :) then you can spot any issues if they arise. My view is that while metformin has some well publicised benefits, you can get the same benefits with diet adjustment - and skip any potential side effects. :D [/QUOTE]
