Avatar n tn Now, I am still having diarrheas and these days I am having a lot of leg cramps at night (it woke me up at sleep.) My recent blood test show the biliribin level is 1.2 which is boarderline high (0.2-1.2) and several months ago this was 0.6. Other liver blood test were normal. Could this still be liver related problem? Anyone has any ideas?

13126824 tn?1428652469 I have to wake up and go downstairs and walk, due to cramps in my toes, where they curl upward and cramps on the top of my foot. Does this have anything to do with medication? I take Zoloft and Abilify for bipolar disorder. My sugar levels were heightened due to Abilify, but I am now taking Metfforman to level out my sugar level because Abilify has the ability to heighten sugar levels. I am not a diabetic. Does cholesterol have anything to do with this cramping?

Avatar n tn I take metformin 500mg twice a day & Januvia 100mg at bedtime. I was diagnosed type 2, about month & half ago. I take multivitiamins during day. At bedtime I take the min amount of magnesium & potassium (for night leg cramps) & aloe vera in a half glass of protien shake. For days now, I have had diarrehia. My morning fastings numbers are 95-110, now, for days, but now my day numbers have jumped to 135-138, just today, after having diarrehia for a few days.
Avatar n tn I'm newly diagnosed diabetic and taking Metformin 500mg 2x a day. I have been taking it for about 10 days and have had the worse cramps and stomach pain! I'm not sure if it is my pre menstrual, which never feels like this, or the new medication. Has anyone had stomach pains or cramps as side effect of Metformin? I'm also taking Lisinopril-HTCZ.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am a 40 year old male who, and have been fit and healthy until a few years ago. I started getting pains in my stomach and back (right side) and down the front of my right leg, no pressure when urinating, and feeling generally unwell (sick, dizzy). I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year and have been on metformin for about 2 years. This has controlled the blood sugar levels but all the symptoms are still present.
179856 tn?1333547362 I've been taking tonic for leg cramps and restless leg for over a year. The Polar Diet tonic doesn't have the carbs. My mother used to take the quinine pills for the same thing but the doctor had her stop because of possible kidney damage. I hate the taste of tonic but when my legs are acting up I choke it down!

Avatar f tn Then I started getting these unusual stomach pains, I thought it may have been cramps and that the metformin was working, but they never stopped. So again I stopped taking the metformin. All of a sudden my period came, =^) And I was very excited that it came even though I wasnt taking the metformin anymore. So now its been on for almost 2wks now, and not heavy at all, at first it wasnt even running down, but inside only (T.M.I sorry).
193609 tn?1292180293 I've been researching this topic and have found that it can take as long as up to a year to restore a normal menstrual cycle. Some cases it may take 3-6 months, but I have read also up to a year. It just depends on how well your body reacts to it. And not in all cases is the weight an issue. Allot of women at a healthy weight have issues with a normal period each month too. I know how frustrating it is to wait for your period and it not be regular each month. Have you been under any stress?
Avatar f tn Your uterus stretches and contracts as its growing and making room for baby,causing the light cramps and sometimes little sharp pains in the abdomin.As for the metformin,ask your docter about it.If there's no reason to continue,dont unless he or she says otherwise.
193609 tn?1292180293 I have PCOS and I am taking metformin, and have not had a period in 39 days. I have taken a pregnancy test and it was negative....but I have heard that some people on metformin have boob pain once they start the meds.....does anyone else find that to be true? Will the pain go away?
Avatar m tn They say that you should wait until 1 week after your missed period before taking a pregnancy test. I know it is hard, but try not to over think it. In the mean time, take care of yourself as if you are pregnant. If you've gone more than two weeks and still haven't gotten your period, take one more test then call the doc. I used metformin and clomid, but also had to use provera to induce my period. The two week wait was the longest wait of my life!
Avatar n tn im on metformin too, and did not have side affects at all. just the first week of sick feeling and diahreah and thats it. then again im on a low does for now, only 500mg until jan 4.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with type two diabetes about 18 months ago and feel I can easily accept the changes to diet that I need to adopt. I am controlled with metformin and that is where the problems came in. The good news about metformin is that you cannot hypo so it is fairly risk free. The bad news is what it does to your digestion. I could tolerate the cheap stuff at all, suffering appalling stomach cramps and enough wind to run a small power station.
Avatar f tn My first 4 days on Metformin I felt like hell! But my body got used to it.
Avatar n tn First my specialist tried provera snd serephine ( it didnt work) then I was sent for an hsg and my tubes are clear and everything looked good and now I am on just metformin to regulate my insulin to help me ovulate.
Avatar f tn I have been on Metformin for about 5 years on and off. The first time I took it I had stomach cramps and was sick in bed for the entire day, BUT I kept taking it. It is a good medication. Don't be scared. It can help you lose weight along with a healthy diet.
Avatar n tn I stopped metformin abruptly and started birth control around the same week I stopped the metformin, and so suddenly and intensely felt so much pain like I was dying. Its been 3 months and I haven't gotten better, I used to be so happy and hopefull now I feel completely hopeless, uneasy, and cannot enjoy anything. Will I ever get better??!!
Avatar f tn I had sex on July 18th and AF was supposed to come on July 30th. Until now, no period, i had some spotting and cramps that have lasted for about 6 days. I've been on metformine and B12 for 2.
Avatar f tn Its not just my calf muscle, but my ankle and tops of my feet too. How are leg cramps and diabetes associated? I am a diabetic, but have been controlling my BS levels pretty well. At diagnosis my A1C was 11.5 and at my last check up I had it down to 5.9. (although it might not be quite that good at my next check up, I know it is nowhere near that high of a reading) Any suggestions on relief from the leg cramps?

Avatar f tn Is there anyone suffering from leg cramps? I had one the other day and this morning. I get leg cramps only in my left leg. I don't understand! I'm scared to even sleep in bed because I was told it happens when your leg is relaxed. Please help!
Avatar f tn My legs cramp when I walk and my bones hurt lots but the lungs I don't get but ehatvi do get is where it feels like my throat is swelling and I can't breath.
