Hi All,
I am new to this site but have registered following reading some posts about people who have suffered extreme tiredness/fatigue whislt using Lantus. I have also looked on the IDDT website and seen their reports regarding Lantus use too.
Basically, I too suffer from extreme weariness, constantly! I forever have the feeling that my eyes want to close, spend all day yawning (it's getting embrassing that I'm yawning when people are talkign to me), could sleep at any time of the day and for hours and hours. My boyfriend can't understand why I never have the enrgy to do anything. I seem to have felt this way for about 2 years in total, but have beneon Lantus a lot longer. I have alos had all the thyroid tests, anaemia tests,coeliac tests etc and all have come back negative.
Following what I have read I am beginning to suspect that maybe it is my Lantus that is causing this and aim to speak to my DN next time I see him about a possible switch to another type of insulin. Has anyone done this from Lantus? What are your experiences?
Also not only am I tired but I get breathless extremely quickly following exercise or even just walking up a hill. I never used to get this and I am far from overweight and do regular exercise. Does anyone else get this? My heart also hurts at times and I get achy legs.
If anyone has any similar expereinces please let me know as I am unsure wheterh IDDT is just biased towards otehr types of insulin or whether Lantus really is causing my symptoms.
