METFORMIN HATES ME!!! I am so sick. One day I am constipated the next I have diarrhea. Gas is consistent, abdominal pain is nonstop. I am always nauseous, get heartburn easily, have chest discomfort. Not sure if its related but my nose is always stuffy and I am snoring now. My depression is starting to inch its way back into my life and I feel so drained physically and emotionally. It is taking everything in me to not give in and continue focusing on the positives. One thing I keep reminding myself of is that I am trying to take back my health. I go back to the Dr next week I am going to ask if there is an alternative medication I can take. Pray for me I feel like I am dying.
Positivity is a lifestyle!
