Re: Warning!From: Anon (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 1 Apr 2000 16:07:58 -0600 (CST)
Thanks for sharing your bad reaction, Heidi. As with any medication, we react to it as individuals and it is good to be reminded that nothing works for everyone. My endo has me taking only 1000 mg, which seems to be lower than normal. I think he is being cautious and does not want to give me any more than I need. By the way, the Met was only helping some with the hirsutism and the spiro only helps me some, too. Together the hirsutism is still bad but slightly less. With them, I have less acne, but still have ingrown hairs. I added taking Chromium GTF to control my insulin levels and Inositol, which is to assist controlling the hormones and ease the hirsutism. My hair growth is slowing and seems to be sparser than it was. It is still a lot and it is dark and coarse (so it is easily visible). But for the first time in my adult life, I have some hope of looking more normal. You might want to ask your endo about these vitamin/minerals. Many of the diabetic books say Chromium with the correct diet can control the blood sugars well enough for some diabetics to stop taking insulin. Doctors do not always tell patients that because some get a kickback from the drug companies for prescribing their products. They feel the demand to support the drug companies. The new research seems to say that insulin resistance is related to vitamin B deficiency; hence, the new research going on with D-chiro inositol. If you cannot adjust well to the Met, maybe these will help. Ask your doctor.
