I have a condition called Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which is treated by Metformin. Its usefulness for the condition was found by a fluke and it took time to get it approved. Even today, my insurance company is apt to send me information on “how to control my diabetes” which I don’t have (my A1C is checked at least one a year, more often twice) and every time I run through my prescription meds list I have to mention that I *don’t * take it for diabetes but for PCOS. Between that and my chronic pain issues, I am very happy I don’t change or add doctors often.
My X has PCOS, and ran into the same thing. When she was pregnant they wanted her to monitor her blood sugars, which really stressed her out. We ended up no going to prenatal care appointments because the stress of the doctors demanding she take care of her (nonexistent) diabetes was both endangering my kids and her health-PCOS plus stress equals heart attacks.
A few months back I was prescribed an anticonvulsant, usually used to treat epilepsy. I didn’t have epilepsy: I had shingles, which doesn’t respond to regular painkillers but does respond to the drug I was prescribed. So off-label use of medications is sometimes useful and even recommended.
I’m still suspicious of Dr Ueda, though…
Would that be gabapentin? I’m prescribed gabapentin for my ears ringing caused by my TBI, but it was originally prescribed for seizure disorders.
