Thanks everybody for your supportive comments. I really, really, really appreciate them. Unfortunately the metformin made me so sick the last week that I have been doing nothing at all. I didn't go to gym, I didn't work, I wound up dropping my class because I'd missed like 7 classes already and the new burden of diabetes seemed like a bad sign for my grade.
I've had a thumping, roaring headache; serious nausea (with bonus heightened smell); total fatigue; delightful assplosions; constantly feeling shaky like I hadn't eaten in days. I'm getting over it a little--now am at the point where normal fibro pain is familiar and welcome--but it's definitely not over yet and I'm also not at the full dose yet. 2000 is the full dose, I'm starting out at 500.
Going to bed now, just wanted to give a quick update. On the positive side, being forced to eat lots of protein and whole grains can only be good for me, right?
