Medicine - is this a reaction?????
Starting at about 1 am this morning, i started vomitting and my legs hurt super bad (ouch these cramps are something else). I was so restless and didn't sleep that i called into work and told the boss i would be in later.
As later came the dizziness, the nausea, the vomitting, the leg cramps, the exhaustion just seem to get worse. And oh yeah i am suppose to take another pill .. yeah RIGHT -- WRONG food stinks and i will not be eating ... These are side affects of the drugs so I will try and wait it out and see if this shall pass.

Medicine
The change in the metaformin seems to be doing the trick, the blood sugar readings are closer to where he wants me to be, and the pain is my feet are starting to subside .... I hope this path continues as i need to start exercising soon.

Dr Appt
Today i went to the doctor. My feet have been killing me. I feel like someone is continually running hot sand paper over the bottom of my feet and i have been waking up in the middle of the night with horrible leg cramps, this has got to stop. I think at this point i am sleep deprived. Not to mention when i refilled my prescription of blood pressure medicine that they are using a new manufacturer and it is affecting my sleep pattern too, now I can't seem to stay awake but when i am asleep it is a really restless sleep.
The Dr visit went well, he said i have neuorpthoy (sp) and he is gg to change the metformin from 1/2 pill before breakfast to 1 pill before breakfast and one before dinner. We shall see how this is working.
BTW at the dcotors i weighed in at a big 207 (OUCH)
