Hello All,
I had to travel a long way to find a discussion on Byetta. I am located in eastern USA. Hope you don't mind an "out of towner" joining in.

This forum is fantastic, I have read 52 pages so far. Thank you all for posting it is a great help. I have searched the web and did not find any discussion groups other than this one, but I think this one will be all I need.

I will be starting Byetta on the 24th of December. Terrified! I had an episode of anaphylactic shock a few years back from penicillian, but I am going to do this. None of the other drugs seem to help. I was on Januvia for 6 months and lost 14lbs, but then it seemed to just quit, so I am hoping that the "spit" will work. I have my epi-pen ready, just in case.
Thanks Again for your fantastic discussion boards. I will be reading other topics over the holiday.
