My doctor put me back on the 5 pen. Hi everyone, I was on the 5 mcg for three months. The first 2 weeks I was sick constantly, vomiting and diarrhea, but then it eased off. Now that I have switched, it's back, but much, much worse than in the beginning. I literally can't keep ANYTHING down. I've only been on it for 6 days, but it's making me really weak. Broth, dry toast, crackers, nothing helps. Also, about an hour after the injection, I'm freezing. I'm so cold that three pairs of socks don't warm my feet. Has anyone else experienced this severe a reaction? Thanks. I could not be on the 10 pen because I was so ill that i had to take off of work

Hi everyone,

I was on the 5 mcg for three months. The first 2 weeks I was sick
constantly, vomiting and diarrhea, but then it eased off. Now that I
have switched, it’s back, but much, much worse than in the beginning. I
literally can’t keep ANYTHING down. I’ve only been on it for 6 days,
but it’s making me really weak. Broth, dry toast, crackers, nothing
helps. Also, about an hour after the injection, I’m freezing. I’m so
cold that three pairs of socks don’t warm my feet. Has anyone else
experienced this severe a reaction? Thanks.
