I have been diagnosed for 4 years and since having IVIG and other meds I have not had an episode.....all seems to be going well for me at the moment although my consultant says we are in unknown territory, and I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and not really keen to take metformin due to side effects....does anyone else out there take this drug??? as things are going well for me now I don't really want to rock the boat any advice would be great to hear...

I have had taken metiformin for many years for my PCOS and had no trouble with it. I have only had one treatment of IVIG so far but the metiformin was fine with the IVIG. I would check with your doctors, read up on drug interactions. But for me personally I did not encounter any problems with metiformin and it really helped with my insulin resistance.

Thanks for your reply.....I am due to see diabetic nurse later this week..... thanks again
