Anyone know about Dr's or consultants prescribing metformin for endometriosis?
I recently got access to ALL my medical records from the consultants I had been referred to over the years and saw that in the past I had been prescribed metformin, altavita and amitryptaline at the same time by an endocrinologist. I presumed at the time it was for my underactive Thyroid and wasn't on

New Tablets Interest
After cardiologist decided my left ventricle was fully blocked with plaque and it was as hard as a rock he said that the right ventricle had took over the job of purifying the arteries and had been doing this for a while, he suggested the best method to go forward was to leave things as they are and

Waste of time at new Endo
Hi all just thought I'd UPDATE after my daughters visit with the new Endo. On a scale of 1-10. I rate him a 2! The nurse took her BP and asked weight & hgt. Then the Dr walks in , says ok let's look at labs , remarked all look good. Daughter goes on to say she's put on weight despite working out and

metformin & tsh level
does anybody have any experience with metformin lowering TSH level? I came upon a study that said it can lower tsh in hypo patients. My daughter has been on 500 mg metformin for years. Her tsh is always low and she has a ton of hypo symptoms. I have hashimotos and my gut tells me she is headed there.

NEW TABLET CHEMYDUR 60XL
I have started to self medicate and been given new tablets the ones above and included on the packet Isosorbida-5-mononitrate. It seems an important addition as I have had around 4 medical people phone me and asking about them and if I have any side affects taking them, I am only having half a tablet

need guidance
Hello all, I'm new here. I was researching and came across this group. I'm asking for advice actually for my daughter. Here is the story. My daughter as a child was slightly overweight at age of puberty. When she was about 20, we went to a dr who ordered a thyroid US. Results multi nodules. No big concern

Prednisone vs Acterma with steroid induced diabetes. Really terrified
Update: April 2024 was scheduled for eye surgery for Strabismus which was canceled days before when in the same week I was determined by my Endocrinologist to have steroid induced diabetes which makes the general anesthesia too risky at this point. Rescheduled for August tentatively while we work on

Blocked fully left arteries
I have fully blocked left side arteries, surgeon said forget them as they are solid, he said the right side is doing the job on its own, yet I have been told that it can't be right, can anyone confirm or tell me what is happening? I have controlled angina, walk miles, only discomfort is very cold

Metformin experiences
Hi all, Hoping for some advice/experiences. I have been diagnosed “unexplained” however I do seem to have lots of follicles in my ovaries and although I don’t have any other typical “PCOS” symptoms, my new specialist seems to think as I am so active/fit I have masked the other symptoms and I may be

metformin tablets
I am so angry and upset. I've been taking round metformin tablets for 15 years. Now the tablet shape has been changed to oblong. The pharmacy says that 's all they can get. I can't swallow this shape for fear of it being stuck horizontally in my throat. Now I have to cut up the oblong tablets. They are

Change to diet
Plodding along for years with T2, first metformin but now insulin twice per day. Reasonably good diet, try to avoid added or high sugar, although carbs can be my downfall, mostly active, low alcohol consumption. Blood glucose readings fairly consistent, though slightly above target and keep nudging

IBS, possibly menopause, any advice
Hello, I’m looking for any advice if possible, I was diagnosed with IBS over 20 years ago now. I think I had it as a child, it seemed to come about right around the same time I got my periods at 11. Every month I would have horrendously heavy menstrual cycles that were so painful I’d almost pass out

metformin ?
I have recently stated to check my glucose by finger prick as although my HbAc1 has been ok and unchanged I am aware I am anaemic after 18 months of zoladex. My fasting morning glucose is 7.2 (129.6) and my 2 hour after evening meal was 8.3 (147.6). The issue is that my weigh is good and unchanged

CGA and urogram
Hi All good advisers. Have been on pred for CGA since July 2023, starting at 60mg. now at 12 mg with very slow taper. I am having a kidney urogram this April. I am also on metformin 3 x daily 500 mg. I have read that I should stop taking metformin before this procedure. How many days before should

Newbie and confused. Functional B12 deficiency?
Hi everyone, I am new here but I have been a member of the thyroid forum for many years. I've also just joined the Sjogren's and the lupus groups because some of my symptoms could be attributed to these though I have no diagnoses, and the Changing Faces group for my rhinophyma. I have Hashi's and thyroid

Hi! I'm new and excited to meet others and learn about your journey
Good afternoon. I'm new to the group. I already posted an item, but thought I should introduce myself. I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in 2010. Had a mastectomy. Went on tamoxifen for 2 years, then quit because it made me feel miserable. No chemo. In 2022, I was once again diagnosed
