| I have been taking Actos for 8 weeks, have severe upper abdominal pain, swelling of ankles and legs and abdomen (7lbs. increase). For up to 5 hours after taking I can barely breathe,wheeze when walking, dizzness and head pain. My ears, sinus and teeth all hurt as well as my finger joints and back. I am 53 and tried several diabetic medicines with almost similar results. Discontinued medication yesterday, as I cannot deal with the side effects. My blood sugars were lowered from 175 to 100 but side effects are not worth it. |
