Anyone Here Take Nerve Medications And Metformin

I took metformin for about a year some time ago and then stopped, but it was diabetes-related. My mother has been taking it for a long time also for diabetes reason. I have heard that some doctors might recommend metformin for weight loss as an off-label use. Perhaps that’s what your doctor is suggesting.
I didn’t notice any side effects while I was taking it. My doctor recommended some diet and lifestyle changes and that helped bring down my HA1c into an acceptable range so I discontinued it.

 

No, the value has remained steady. But I have to follow a careful diet and I try to exercise every day, otherwise it tends to creep up.

 

i took metformin because i had pcos and trouble having 2 kid. stopped after 1st semester

 

Start with small steps if that’s all you can handle in the beginning. It took me a long time to work myself into a good routine. Trying to fit in a walk, eating a little more salad every day, making sure to drink 8 glasses of water a day, things like that.
My doctor had cautioned me about the stomach problems that might have come up with metformin but luckily I didn’t face it. My mom also hasn’t had any side effects.
Did they test your thyroid too?

 

Taking B12 is mandatory if you take metformin as it can drastically reduce B12 levels in your body.

Also did you try visiting Chiropractor? Sometimes alternate medicine helps in such cases

 

@gknew
May be you should check with another doctor, if doctor not able to diagnose how can they treat.
I have autoimmune condition for several years, these kind of steps helps me to get going. I have to try each one and see it works for me and then adopt. I am reading lot of books also.]
I suggest listen to them to get overall idea that how we are not eating right and getting inflammation in body. Please watch leaky gut episode in this channel and others.

MetFormin is taken for reducing insulin resistance also. My friend took it and it helped her.
@gknew I just want to caution you that medicine should be last resort not first. Clearly your current lifestyle and food habits are not suiting your body and it is manifesting in all these problems. It may be tough but you have to make the effort. Diet and exercise are a pain yes and I struggle with it myself but ultimately it’s better for my body than taking medicines and becoming dependent on them life long. You posted earlier also I remember about wanting to walk but the shoes were wrong and you got hurt or sprained something. Do the diligence get the proper shoes or buy some weights and just do it. Start small. In the long run the cost of the shoes and the weights will be far less than the medicines your body’s dependence on it and dealing with the side effects.
I’m not anti medicines but should take only when there is no other option. Doc herself is telling you to exercise then take it seriously. Hope you don’t take what I said negatively. I follow the same myself. And you are young. Your body will heal and bounce back quickly with the right diet and exercise. Nothing can substitute for that feeling of good health. In short, it’s really worth it.
