I am not happy with this info. My doc put me on metformin and ignored my comments about how it made me feel and how my body reacted. She also made me have B12 shots. Also had me on seraquil. That progressed the condition and all the medications were increased. I now have nerve damage throughout my body. Bloody makes sense now. I no longer see her. Having moved away and am now on totally different medications and insulin. To think I was put through all that for years is down right awful. Thank you for this info.
