THANK YOU! I really needed a bit of humour today! LoL!!

On another note...I wonder if anyone else out there takes Metformin? I don't

take it for diabetes, but for insulin resistance/PCOS. I started taking it

in November (dose is now 500mg 3X/day), and since I started taking it...and

since my stress level has been off the charts since the end of November...

I've lost 20 lbs without really trying. I go through periods at the moment

where I can't even choke food down. THIS is new for me. Unheard of. Not that

I'm complaining, because I had a bounceback of 25 lbs, so losing this weight

isn't a bad thing.

I guess what I'm wondering is this: has anyone else taken Metformin and

found that it gives them a more " normal " view of food. I eat because my body

needs fuel. Food isn't appealing otherwise. I know that my body is

processing carbs much better on the Metformin. I hope this is an excellent

side effect of the drug! I hope it lasts! =) I'm not sure if this miracle

is due to the Metformin or the extreme stress (and/or the accompanying

depression)...
