Hi, I just started Met about 3 weeks ago and have experienced the same
stomach issues... But what piqued my interest about your post was the
mention of a feeling of COLDNESS in parts of the body... Since I
starteed, it seems like my fingers are always feeling that "frostbite"
feeling. Like they would on a cold day...kind of numb and prickly, my
feet too. Is this what you mean? (Perhaps it has nothing to do with
met??? but maybe?) Also, I have been getting random pulled musles as
well. Today for example, I feel like I pulled a muscle in the back of
my leg that I never even knew existed --and I have no clue how I pulled
it. Thanks for any info you have to share!
