RRRRRAAAAALLLF.

As in nauseous and I want to throw up!

I began taking my medication after my appointment on Wednesday. At first I didn't feel anything funny, I read the label correctly and took it a half hour before I ate anything. As luck would have it, we were busy and I didn't have a chance to eat my protein bar until noon.

Dr. Cusimano has me on 500mg of Metformin, and I am to take 1 pill a day. Usually it's supposed to be taken 2x/day, but it could cause stomach pain and she didn't want me to over do it. I thought of stomach pain, as more of like a stomach ache. Well it isn't. It's more like dull aches around your abdomen. I began getting super nauseous that day and felt like dry heaving. 

I talked to my friend John at work about it. He's a diabetic and on Metformin and we came to the conclusion it was the Tricor. He was on Tricor for his cholesterol also, took it for a week and couldn't do it anymore. Apparently most cholesterol medications make you feel sick. It's one of those types of meds where if you start, you should try to avoid at all costs missing a dose. I'm still new to these, I've never really had to be medicated for anything before. I'm hoping that this all works.

I haven't had much of a appetite at all, not sure if that's a good or bad thing! It's just kind of hard to want to eat anything when you feel like ralfing.
