Avandia

I was having problems with my blood sugar and went to a M.D. on recommendation from a co-worker. My blood sugar rose to 130 and he put me on Avandia. One month later I started having sweats, chills, hyperactivity, and insommnia. I went to specialist and he was shocked that I was put on Avandia. I was taken of of it immediately. It is a very serious drug and it was my thyroid that was low, causing my blood sugar to rise. It has now been one year and I am still having the same symtoms eventhough I am on thyroid medication. I have read and asked many questions to every pharmacist that will listen. They all agree that I should have never been put on Avandia. I’m not sure how long my symtoms will last but believe me I am very involved with my health now! I will not ever go on amy medication without first asking, reading everthing I can possibly find!
