NOT SURE ABOUT METFORMIN !

So... me Dr said I had to start taking Metformin.
I went down to the Pharmacy and they gave me this bottle of pills:

ABOVE:  the thing is... THAT is all I got.  I did not get one iota of information on the drug, it's potential side effects... things to avoid/not take in conjunction with it... bla bla bla.
Not very impressed.

Might even mention it next time I go to the Dr's.
Luckily, I am pro-active and did some research on the 'net.
Stew has been taking Metformin for a couple of years... maybe the Dr thought I could ask him? Dunno.

Sadly I am having some side effects.  Me tummy is not happy.  And trips to the bathroom are a pain in the butt ( excuse the pun).

I haven't had a chance to take another puppy video yet, maybe I will later on today? Anyone keen to see more puppy videos?

ABOVE:  while ya wait for puppies, here's one of me frogs! Isn't he cute sitting on the wharf. 

Right, time to do the housework before doing something more enjoyable... like blogging or sewing...

ONWARD...
The kids and I slept in today... well after I'd got up and sorted out the pups, put some washing one etc!
I lay in bed hoping to go back to sleep, but my brain kept telling me I really should get up and do something... *sigh*


BONNIE:  I hardly ever drink alcohol mate.  I think the last time I had a little drink was ???  3-4 weeks ago?  It just doesn't do much for me and I loath hangovers!  So... I just don't drink much!

Now that we are up and moving... I'm off to do a bit of sewing...

We are having the most lovely day today.  The weather is stunning, I've got all the windows open for the first time in ages!
I've finished my current sewing project, I've changed the puppy bedding, done three loads of washing... oh yeah... quite pleased with my day.
Just thinking about what to do for dinner now.

OH and yep... I think the Metformin has stopped my appetite in it's tracks!  I'm still eating, but I actually don't feel hungry???  How weird is that... I might just try and use that to my advantage... anything that stops me eating is a good thing!
I do still hanker after me desert island... with Diet Coke on Tap!  lol

ABOVE:  Shoddy photo of the pups just now... cos I had to use me phone.  Camera's battery died.   Hence, no video right now.  I promise there will be one tomorrow.


End of Day:  we had dinner at Sylvia Park tonight... which was nice.  I had a carbless kebab... which consists of salad and mixed meats with hummus .. it was lovely. 
Now home and going to just enjoy the rest of the evening.
