Hi Krystal,
I have been on metformin for 5 big days now.  Thus far, things are ok.  I took
it this morning though, and got the shakes really bad.  I have also had diarreha.
Most of the side affects I have read about are normal among all people taking
metformin.  So, if you can tolerate a little discomfort, i guess it will all be worth it in the
future.  That is what i am hoping anyway, since my husband and I are wanting a baby
really bad.  Good luck with what you decide.  Feel free to e-mail me anytime at
sand9984@bellsouth.net
