You might want to read the possible side effects of janumet... here. From what I read there, with the symptoms you have, you are supposed to stop taking it and call the doctor at once.

Welcome to the forum.

I would definitely call your doctor. You may be allergic to the Januvia part of Janumet. Did your doctor try metformin by itself, first. From the many things that I have heard about Januvia it will increase any inflammation in your body especially if you already have an autoimmune condition.

Hi Sharon

welcome Sharon yeah, it's a good idea to get yourself to a doc asap. I know all about side effects to meds and it's no fun! Not all meds agree with us unfortunately... even though it's supposed to be making us better, our bodies disagree. You need to be on the right med for you. If oral meds continue to give you side effects, maybe insulin may be kinder for you? But discuss this with your doc and endo. I'm sure you will find this a great place for support and info. Keep us posted on how you're doing.
