Could Glucophage be causing my difficult to diagnose illnesses?!!!!!From: anonymous@obgyn.netWed, 7 Nov 2001 17:13:20 -0600 (CST)
Desperate! Was on Glucophage, 1000mg., 2x a day for about a year for PCOS for a half until a week ago. Was starting to feel like I was going to pass out, so doc took me off. Since May of this year, I have had unexplainable severe leg pain with spasms, skin ripples in legs with muscle jerks, upper abdomen pain, elevated ALT-103 and AST-51 Liver tests, severe hair loss (which has lessened dramatically since stopping Gluc), increased irregular heartbeat which I am told is Benign Premature Depolarizations, bad gas, dizziness, lightheaded, often feel like I have no bones in body. I losing my ability to walk and they tell me that they think it is Fibromyalgia, but it does not feel like the kind of pain you get with Fibromyalgia, because I have had that in my neck and back for years. Negative Doplar scan on legs. Positive ANA, for the third time, negative for Hepatitis C and negative Lupus panel. I have been off work of over 2 months and I am losing my ability to walk and support myself. This all seems to have come on within a few weeks of each other. No one knows for sure what it is, so I am desperate. Am going to Scripps Institute in a couple of weeks out of desperation. One doctor has also told me that stomach problem is Leaky Gut Syndrome. But I have sneaking suspicion that a lot of this has been caused by the Gluco. Read that Liver problems and sometimes Gluc have been known to cause leg and abdominal pain. Many forums I have read, women have written in complaining of leg pain on Gluc. Does this sound familiar? Any advice? Thank you.
