Summary
Grove 27987, a Reddit user posting on r/cfs, began metformin in late April 2023, taking 500 mg at the centre of their lunch, and within a week reported feeling great: a noticeable improvement in energy level and sleep quality. The only problem was diarrhea after larger dinners, though there were no stomach cramps.
