Janet, Thanks for the info it was very helpful. My RE took me off Met since it didn't really seem to help me, so I will have to look for another solution to help with this problem. What can you do for the itching in the mean time? Do you just have to deal with it? I have tried anti itch creams, but they haven't worked that well.
