oh yes Cursed is the word
we get one thing then get medication for it which leads us to get something else then have medication to treat that then that causes another etc etc
I think quite a few people here have RA & Diabetes I wondered if the prednisone may have some cause there
as for the Aches & Pains I haven't noticed so much from the metformin but I do have them Every day so I don't think I could tell either way
jeanneac if you feel metformin is a cause try to keep a diary how you feel say a few hours before taking it then again a few hours after , you could see if your doctor can prescribe you a different diabetes drug for a while to see if any change, it gets very hard when we have more than one disease and taking more than one medication as sometimes you never know just what is causing what result
