Hi Mark and welcome to the forum.

When you say lumps all over your body, do your really mean everywhere or just at the sites where you inject? A reaction at injection sites is a known side effect, which is why you should always vary the injection sites as much as possible.
 
Hi Mark.

This may or may not be Byetta related ? However it doesn't appear to be a known side effect.

Having seen this sort of thing before in a relative, it may well be Cysts ? This person was absolutely covered in the things.
You need to get an appointment with a skin specialist and have this checked out properly.

Here is some info which will help understand what they are and how they are treated:

Hope this helps ?
