Hello everyone-
I am new to SoulCysters - just recently diagnosed at the beginning of this year with PCOS- although I have been suffering with this for at least 10 years- maybe longer- Acne, Weight gain, Excess facial hair and for the past five years or so sporadic periods- I have several cysts as well on my ovaries-
So needless to say I found a great doctor who prescribed Met which I started taking January 9th of this year- so about six weeks ago- 500 mg 2x a day only-
Since then I have lost 10 lbs, but admit I have not really changed my diet like I should- I plan on reducing my carbs and hope to see even better results- but there have been some other benefits that are strange-
I can now wear some of my gold rings that I thought I was ripped off on since they caused a black ring on my finger- they no longer do that!
And I used to get these horrible tonsil stones (or tonsiliths) which are just the grossest most annoying things- haven't had one since I started taking Met!
My acne hasn't gone away but my skin has definitely changed- I think it is "drying up" if that makes any sense- I really hope that it will clear up soon.
Anyway- I just wanted to see if anyone else has had some strange benefits from MET that go outside of what we are taking it for.
Metformin has helped me in some strange ways...
