I have always had health issues. From the time I started having periods, I had long, heavy ones, and often fainted during them. I found out I was hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) at about age 13. I started on birth controlControl Control rx at age 17. I came off of it at 19, and went back on at 20 because this was my doctor's answer for everything. I stayed on for a year and a half, but was feeling very sick. I came off on my own, and gained 80lbs in about 3 months. No one had anything nice to say or any advice to me, other than don't eat so much. That is until my reg. doctor threw me off on another doctor last August. I knew I had PCOS and Endo. This doctor gave me metforminMetformin Metformin hydrochloride Metformin hydrochloride er Metformin-glipizide Metformin-glyburide Metformin-pioglitazone Metformin-repaglinide Metformin-rosiglitazone Metformin-sitagliptin, which makes me very sick when I take it.
