I have not been on here in so long and felt like I needed to share. When I was diagnosed with the I.R I was shattered. I tried to take the met and could not get above 500mg. with out being sick as a dog. I had to take time off of work as a result. My body is so sensitive to medication. I hated medication and then they told me I had to change my diet as well...it was all too much. After trying the Met and then feeling awful I went to my Endo and said " I am DONE!' She told me to try Glumetza and I can't believe what happened. I was able to go from 500mg to 2000mg with little discomfort. I am still shocked by this. All I know is I a glad I didn't give up and that I stayed on it. I feel so much better and have lost 30 lbs. It is not the only thing I do but I am sure the meds have been a big part of it.

Thank you to all the women on here.

Yes, thanks for your story! I have been looking at getting on it because of my intolerance to Met above 500. Your story gives me inspiration and the incentive to go tell my doctor to put me on it!
