    Default Worried...please help

    I started taking Met about 3 days ago. I'm doing pretty well on it. Just a tiny bit of nausea, a little diarrhea....nothing too bad.

    But, I am having very sore muscles and joint pain.. is this normal?

    I have had a problem with swelling for the past year. I started paxil for anxiety and the swelling started shortly after. I went to a urologist and he said my kidneys were fine. This was over a year ago and I'm still worried though...

    Now that I'm on Met, how do I know that my kidneys are working normally? What if they're not? Reading about Lactic Acidosis has scared me to death!!!

    Please help. I want to do what's best for my body and get it ovulating again, but I don't want to die trying.

    Nothing yet.

    I have an appointment scheduled for Friday to have my kidney and liver function tested.

    In the meantime, I'm still taking the met. My joints are still hurting like crazy...as long as that doesn't mean I'm getting lactic acidosis it doesn't bother me.

    I hope everything is ok as well! There are other options besides met if that is in fact causing this. We're all thinking of you! Feel better!

    The dr. asked me to keep taking it...I had an ultrasound and bloodwork to check kidney function on Friday. I am awaiting the results.

    The joint pain has eased up a lot. I went up to my full dosage...1500 mgs two days ago. Stomach problems have not been fun today, but I'm sure I'll cope.
