Re: Anyone use Byetta? cheers :D

Re: Anyone use Byetta? unfortunately dont like red wine, but do you think a glass of rose would be OK?? :wink:

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hi Cugila You are right about a hiatus hernia being part of the stomach through the diagphram, but with most hiatal hernias the pain is as I described the lower part of the chest radiating to the back arms, throat and neck, some people get heartburn some dont and I...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? hi Humph - thanks for that but its not 'abdominal' pain that I get - my hernia is in the top of my stomach in the diagphram which is why it presents as chest pain :(

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Thanks Cugila Think some of last night was just frustration at having fought so long, the first couple of days being really good - no sickness or anything and then feeling like it was back to square one again. TBH the problems I was having last night have subsided to a...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hi Cugila Sorry - was in a foul mood last night and shouldn't take it out on others - so I apologise. I am going to see how it goes today - I appreciate your comments, but I also stand by something my doctor told me many moons ago - that most of the time I know my body...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? sorry Cugila - which side effects were you thinking of - I cant find any other than the nausea that might be a problem?

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Sorry all -haven't been around for quite a while, BUT the good news is I have now managed, with the help of my diabetes clinic, to persuade my PCT to prescribe Byetta for me. I started on it on Thursday this week, but have a question if anyone on here is in a similar...

Thanks all - have been a bit out of the loop the last couple of weeks as I lost my internet connection - thank you for all the suggestions - will sift through them and try them this week

My diabetic consultant would like to try me on Byetta but has his hands tied by a PCT (BUcks) that will not allow it. Someone said something to me earlier that made me think. Does anyone think it might work if I were to get my doctor to refer me 'out of area' (ie nine miles away to a hospital...

If you do then I desperately want to hear from you. I have been diabetic for 9 years, first on diet alone, now on an oral combination of Avandamet and Gliclazide, but since a heart attack at Xmas and the cardiac doctors 'playing around' with all my meds, my control has got steadily worse. My...

I wonder if anyone has - I am in the unfortunate position that this is the avenue I am about to embark on, and so far, it is a total minefield as to how you go about doing this effectively. Any suggestions would be welcomed. thanks all Trulee

Re: Anyone use Byetta? thank you so much guys for the suggestions - had a long conversation with a friend last night who is a solicitor and believes that I can attack them on the grounds that they are abusing the European Convention on Human Rights by witholding a drug that could improve my...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? thanks for that Ken - am just so frustrated at the minute by it. Usually I am a fighter, but the heart attack has taken a lot of my 'fight' and instead I find myself sitting here in tears about it which will do no-one any good. I dont suppose you know of anywhere I...

always worth checking with your surgery diabetic nurse if you need a meter - mine always has a cupbaord full of them where they are left as 'samples' from drug companies - she is quite happy to leave one on reception for me to pick up should mine go wrong, then you just need the GP to prescribe...

Re: Anyone use Byetta? Hi everyone - my first post having just found you through Google. Does anyone on this thread live in Buckinghamshire and if so, did you have trouble getting Byetta prescribed? I have been diabetic for 9 years, first on diet alone, now on an oral combination of Avandamet...
