Nah dude, people do have all those health problems (many times in conjunction with one another), and it's okay to bring them all up, because getting them explored/treated is the best way to getting you towards being healthier. I have PCOS, PMDD, and chronic back pain myself, so I'm constantly on the watch for drug interactions and the like within the host if medications I take. And with something like liver problems, that's nothing to joke about. Metformin and blood thinners are a common combination to be prescribed (especially metformin & spironolactone, metformin & hydrochlorothiazide, and metformin & furosemide. I'm on the first combo) so if you're having problems with the current combo you're taking, there should be other insulin/bp combinations you and your doctor can try without you having such serious side effects from them. So please, have a serious conversation with your doctor about alternate medications you can try, rather than trying to just go without taking one or the other.

As far as the lump goes, please don't hesitate to take that to your doctor as well. Assuming your GP is someone you trust in regards to your dysphoria, I would certainly try to call to have them check it out and talk to you about it. Cysts form all the time for various reasons, and hopefully it's nothing and will recede on it's own given time, but since it's painful for you I would get it checked out, just in case.

I know you're scared about everything right now, but talking to your doctor will make everything move towards the better, since you won't have as many unknowns and will come out the healthier for it.

ah shit I mistook bloodthinner for diuretic, I'm sorry. Please disregard the meds i listed off. Your endo might still be able to suggest an alternative (maybe changing the metformin to another insulin medication), but I apologize for getting the drug classes wrong.

It's okay; god knows I still mix up this stuff sometimes. (I always get my antidepressant wrong. Lexapro, not lepraxo, self.) I'm hoping we'll be able to find something to swap the metformin out for, and at this stage I'm even willing to consider an insulin pump if it'll help even my sugars out - I've always been uneasy about them because I have a slight phobia of things in my body that don't belong there, which makes tests with injected radiation dye really fun, but right now I'd stick in an entirely mechanical pancreas if it would make things even a tiny bit easier.

Oh man. I've only ever taken metformin so I don't know what would be adequate to suggest as an alternative, but if the insulin pump is a thing that might work out for you, then it's def an option.

Good luck to you either way with that, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you being able to get into see someone in the clinic on Monday or so to discuss this and get this worked out.

If you're comfortable with doing so, let us know how things work out for you, okay?
