I'm at high risk for developing Diabetes, and I asked my MD for an RX for Metformin a few weeks ago. She said, "Let's get you stabilized mentally first."
Gee, thanks. I'm a walking mental wreck? Why not work on the metformin, too, so I don't balloon any closer to 300 lbs.
What's really frustrating is she prescribed me something with a side effect of weight gain, knowing I was having trouble with my weight, after having lectured me about how it all boils down to eating less and exercising more (as if it's THAT easy), and then she prescribed me something that made me gain 30 lbs. in 3 months.
