I am devastatted
I am so sad.
My endo put me on Byetta last November. For a month & a half things
looked great.
My BS readings were great even my highest fasting numbers were only
127. I had no nausea & lost 17lbs.
Then the things went downhill.
With the new year came new problems. I started getting severe nausea
with vomiting with each injection. So severe I was prescribed
phenergrin (sp) but the nausea & vomiting continued. I never made it
to the 10mg I was always on the 5mg.
The nausea & vomitting were so severe my body was depleted of all
its vitamin D. I am now on a 15 week course of perscription vitamin
D replacement.
Last Friday when I saw my endo he said my body cannot tolerate
Byetta & he has taken me off of it. He said it is rare for people to
have this reaction to Byetta. He said I was one of 3 people nation
wide that this has happened too.
So now I am back on Lantus & Novalog. My reading have jumped back up
to 200-300 range. I am so sad & upset. I know the weight is going to
go thru the roof. All my hopes & dreams for a life of conquering
diabetes has been crushed.
Since my lizard days have come to an end I will unsub from the group.
I wish all of you success & a life free from diabetic chaos.
Hugs,
