I am just wondering about the positive side affect of less muscle fatique and achiness. I am not on met. but have come to this site since very few people here are on avandia and it is possible that the benefits of avandia are similar to met.
For the last few years I have felt weaker than normal and experienced more achiness and muscle pain. Everyone says, "Oh you're just getting older". I am as active as before, haven't put on more than a few pounds but my symptoms of PCOS have steadily worsened. This has not been debilitating or anything just bothersome. I did also have the fatigue after meals and other hypoglycemic issues. Sooo, my doctor prescribed avandia 3 weeks ago. I have had no side affects, except I lost those few extra pounds already and am noticing not only an increased ammount of stamina but the muscle aches are gone! Could they have been related to IR conditions? DOes or did anyone else experience these and their improvement when put on insulin sensitizing meds? I am really feeling quite good the longer I take this. Am so hopeful it will cause AF so I don't have to return to BC PILLS!

I'm on gluc and can't remember having muscle aches before I started. But I was always tired - no energy. Since starting gluc my energy has really increased - a definite good side effect!

With met, I definitely have seen a difference in my energy level and have said goodbye to that terrible achiness! In fact, I realized when I read your post that I can't remember the last time I woke up all achy. YAY!!
I've also seen the return of my sex-drive (My hubby and I are thrilled) and the return of my once long lost AF. I've had 3 periods since starting met in June.......and I'd only had 2 before that in the whole year.
My skin is clearing up, my facial hair has gotten better, my moods are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better. Though met has had a few ucky side effects for me, I'm still SO grateful.

I love the star wars name! I am encouraged by your story! I really really really hope this helps me cycle on my own and clear the acne. I have relied on bc pills so long and they have always kept my face clear. I'm afraid to go without.
I really do feel this medicine is helping with the unexplained aches and pains. It was hard to explain what I feel just more than normal aches and muscle pain and fatigue. I feel 10 years younger. MORE ENERGY!

I'm glad to hear things are turning around for you! And, not many people get the star wars reference! My hubby calls me shorty, and one day he said "help me shorty1kanobi, you're my only hope." Gotta love it. *grin*
