Your sugars are out of contol.
You need to evaluate your diet and meds.

It would also be a good idea to stop by a pharmacy and check your blood pressure.

You didn't say how long you were on that dose.
Have you recently upped it by chance?

If you are feeling that way still by Monday put in a call to the Dr office and tell them what meds your on,vitimins included.
Maybe they can tell you over the phone instead of going in.

The met can make you sun sensitive.
I now can walk out in the sun and have instant eye pain.
I'll be talking to the DR about that as well this week.

Another thing your blood presure directly affects your eyes.
Eye pain is a sign you need to contact the DR.(Listed in the warnings) They might just need to adjust your dose again.

Don't worry yet. But make sure you make that call on Monday!

Let us know what you find out, it could help us as well.

Thank you for answering my post. I just took my bp and it was 110/66 and pulse was 70. To me that sounds normal. I just started clomid a few days ago so that may also be part of the problem. I was on just 850 met then I started that dose twice a day about 2 weeks ago. I actually felt bettter on the higher dose. I am also on thyroid meds. I had a terrible night last night. My right arm ans shoulder hurt so bad then to top it off everytime I would start to fall asleep I would force myself to wake up because I felt like I wasnt breathing then that happened all night long. I finally got some sleep in the morning hours. It was scarry I almost felt like my brain was shaking and my leg just to force myself to wake up. I was so sleepy. Well I dont know if it is clomid or the combination of the three. All I know is is that this stuff is scary. Especially the feeling like my throat is swollen. Help??????

Now that i see your other meds, dehydration could be playing a role along with the med combo your taking.

Try splitting the doses so your not taking them with in 2 hrs of each other. That should help alot.
Have you researched the side effects of the clomid?
I have heard few stories of feeling icky on it.

You must increase your water intake.
Make this your first goal this week.

Let us know,

Patty,
I jus got you post tonight. Well strange you said that about water. Today I made sure to drink each pill with a full glass of water . That really helped. Also I drank lots of water all day. I feel much better. Although I cant get away from the diareaha (sorry) that met gives but the water is really helping. THat is the key I am convinced. I was just drinking like a gulp of water when I took my pills . Plus imagine with being in the bathroom all the time that itself causes dehydration. I didnt have much of that foggy feeling today. I still stayed home though because I wasnt sure how i would feel if I went out.
Well thank you I will let you alll know if that was the problem.

Sorry I just remembered something else.
If your having potty probs,start taking a fiber suppliment.
They have fiber pills and now a new product that is clear and gunk free. I don't remember the name but it has been highly advertized. Most store employees will know what to look for.
Ask any pharmasist.(I can picture the label but not the name.)

It could help add bulk to your probs.
Even with fiber you still need an increased amount of liquids.
(Not pop,coffee,alcohol.) Stick to water and some juice is good.
If you must have caffene, try to do the coffee.

Good luck,
Patty
