Exclamation Popping in to say Hiya

Hi guys

Ive just popped into to say hi...I was diagnosed as having insulin resistant PCOS last week ( although i have been told by docs i have had it for over 10 years). My question is that i have to go and see my doc on Thursday and have to go on Metformin. I am scared stiff. I have a friend who has been on this for over 8 months now and she has been as sick as a dog every day with out fail.

How many of you have suffered side effects and are they easily combated.

Thanks Black rose

Lots of people take the drug and get over the side-effects. I'm one of the ones that didn't, but Noodles takes it without problems and so do others here.

Give it a shot, and if it doesn't work, tell your doctor. Don't do what I did: take it and suffer for 2 months before I told anybody.

Hi, Rose!!

Some people have the side effects that never go away, and some have them go away after a bit. I was on it for about a week before the side effects started tapering off. It just depends on the person.

Keep us posted and feel free to join us in our monthly gab area!!
