Hi I am new here and would like to say hello to you all
I have had PCOs for ten years now and have all the classic things that go along with that. I heard about Syndrome X on another PCOs support site and then found this one. Endo has me on Met 500mg once a day for a week and then I am supposed to take two. This is only my second day on the stuff and the nausea is real bad. I take my pill at night and the nausea doesn't hit me until about 2 or 3 the next day. Havn't had much diarrhea but have had some gassy cramps
If anyone has any advice on how to curb the nausea I would be very thankful to you.
The low carb diet does work. I stuck with it three years ago and lost 60 pounds (but it was really really hard) my motivation was a baby and now she is two and a half. I am up to 210 again and feel bad. The Met does definately curb the appetite, sometimes just from the nausea and sometimes I am not sick and still not hungry. But i think the low carb diet will work very well with the Met and hopefully it wont be as hard.
Anyways I wanted to tell all of you what I read on another site earlier today. All this time I thought I was doing great by drinking diet soft drinks, and came to find out that Aspartame (what they sweeten it with) produces more insulin!! The only diet soft drink out there without Aspartame is Diet Riet.
Good luck to all of you.
