Are you saying you have been prescribed metformin, if so it does have the reputation for causing stomach issues as you mention. The dose is normally increased gradually 1 per day for a week or more then increasing if needed. People find less effect if taken with food, mid meal to help. For many people it will usually settle down.

No. I’ve been on the internet reading about it. That’s all. My brother is on it.
 
And it has been very stressful.
I was discharged against my Will, then readmitted to the same ward, only to be told (I’d figured it out) that the surgeons didn’t want to do the surgery as they didn’t think I’d survive the operation.
