Message: <blockquote data-quote="baronfrederick" data-source="post: 1067163" data-attributes="member: 272203">I developed diabetes 2 - after my triple bypass op in 2014--was prescribed simvastatin and metformin.To my known med history:I only have one kidney--the other was removed /by mistake in 1984--and I have Hodgkins Lymphoma--since 2007.Having gained a little weight--I was  changed to byetta--selfinjection--with the result that my kidney failed totally and was rushed to hospital by ambulance-- where I very nearly died.I was unconscious for three days, fantasised for eight days and had dialysis for three/four weeks.After 5 weeks --in total-- my kidney recovered to 13 %.I was discharged home --with the prognosis that I will not improve further in hospital & will  require dialysis for rest of my days!I refused to accept this prognosis--feeling suicidal at the outlook of that kind of future.The NHS told  me that there was nothing else they could do.I consulted renal specialists / outside the NHS-- for alternatives and decided on a cocktail of homeopathic ingredientsof known  historic kidney treatments from Germany and India.AND THAT WORKED.This alternative course of treatment ( cost only  approx. £ 15/20 pm-)and a relatively strict renal diet made my kidney improve--to date-- to 41 %.Iam very very relieved  that I have survived this --to date-- but do you think that the NHS was/is interested as to how I achieved this?If it's not part of 'school medicine'  and cheap as a treatment--they don't want to know.My questions  are addressed to (other) Byetta victims:1)  Does/did anybody else have problems or know anybody who does/did??2)  were you compensated for the problems caused by Byetta?3)  do want to join a group of Byetta victims--for bringing a court case ?Edited to remove email address due to spammers.</blockquote>
