After going off this med due side effects, changed to Welchol and that did 't work. - severs muscle aches, I'm now back on Januvia. At least I know what it does and I have a supply of it. I really wanted to get off of this due to pancreatitis issues and will try again after I get back from vacation trip to Scotland. I hope this helps bringing down my fbg Continue Reading

 

Re: Shoulder Replacement

In Wellness & Health 1371063885.807

I didn't have a replacement, but I did have 2 rotator cuff surgeries on the same shoulder and it did take me about 2 years to get back to playing golf. I still have issues when the weather is bad, and some soreness if I do certain moves with my arm over and over. I really understand where you are coming from, but if the pain gets so bad you can't stand it, you will have the surgery. Sometimes there is only one option. I sincerely hope that you can rid yourself of pain and get on with your life. By the way, I was in pt the very next day after the second surgery, to really get control go the sc...

Just wrote a long post that got wiped out I've been taken off the Invokana as it made me feel like I wa going through menopause again, was on Januvia and Byetta before, but bad warnings and I've had pancreatitis before, so hope the dr puts me on insulin this week, as I can't stand dragging myself around. On 2000mg metformin and20 glipizide, but they aren't doing it, sleep 8-10 hours, exercise and eat well. Really hope the next step helps Forrest Continue Reading

As of today, I'm off the Invokana! Besides, really not doing anything to lower my fbg, I feel like I'm back going through menopause. - boy don't need that!!! This drug makes me aggressive and nasty (poor dh got chewed out for coughing!). So he wants me off this for a week to get out of my system and then we will go from there. Not to take anything but my Metformin and glipizide. Will really have to w tach the carbs this week ! Forrest Continue Reading

Sorry I didn't reply. I was using the 31gx5/16 needles with the Byetta and was injecting as shown, apparently some people do get a reaction at the injection site, but that wouldn't keep me from injecting if I need to do it. My diet is well controlled most of the time and I eat usually less than 60 carbs a day and ride my bike 30 min. a day and try to walk everyday for 1/2 to 1 hour also. Doctor wants me stay on the Invokana for another week before switching to something else, so that's what I will do and hope the fbg comes down some. Continue Reading

Right now I don't think the drug is doing much, other than making me pee, as my fbg has been running around 183 since starting on the 300 mg. I have a call into the Dr. about this and awaiting a return call. I don't have a problem with doing insulin, except that i get welts where I inject a needle and really don't want to look like a junkie. Was on Byetta with a needle. Thanks for your concern Forrest Continue Reading
