Aww caroleann so sorry to hear that. It's no good if it's making you that ill. You'll always be a babe though and I hope they get you something to make you feel good soon.
 
Thanks guys,maybe i can be your little mascot i say little im 5ft, what you think:D
 
Oh Caroleann - that is such sad news:( I do hope you get sorted really soon. As far as being B Babe is concerned, you only have to have taken it to qualify. I was a Girl Guide - still am in theory but I don't sit crossed legged on the floor and sing any more - well not sober anyway and not on the floor - huh, I would never get up again...but you see my point😉

Keep us posted- it is important for others to realise that all this raving about this stuff doesn't mean it is for everyone. Big hugs xxx
 
Spoke to DSN this morning after telling her what happend she told me to stop takinf for a week and then start taking one 5 dose daily see how i go with that, she has said there is one more pil i can try or insulin but what to do im thinking blow it all and going straight on to the insulin cos the way things are going im going to end up on at some point anyway so i just as well do it now that i have got used to injecting,all i know is i want my life back,i can honestly say whilst taking the byetta i did'nt have a life just been like a zombie most of the time.

Hi hun hope this works taken a week off might change things x x good luck
 
Hope you are feeling a bit better today Caroleann.
I have a new problem today. My new pen is due on 6th September but today noticed a few floaty bits in my pen. So anyway nipped down docs and the receptionist said she can get me a new prescription for 6pm and the pharamcist said he'll get the pen for 10.30 tomorrow. So I suppose I had better not use it tonight. This is the second pen I have had problems with, the other had blood in it. Has anyone else had these kind of problems?

Hi Lizzie sorry hun ive never had any bother like that.x
 
Well I know how it feels to be hungry again. Can't stop eating. Anyway just off to get my prescription and will get the new lizard spit tomorrow. Course I have the sharps box collectors coming in the morning sometime between 8 - 13.00 so can't get to the chemist until they come. Apparently you have to be in to hand it over. I can see that in future I'll have to hoard a few boxes as I can't keep taking a morning off work to hand them over. They said they can collect from my place of work but I never know where I'll be working from one day to the next.

Aha got it, I think, Harley is looking to the left (i.e. your right in the picture)?

By the way, this is more a comment on my eyesight than the quality of the picture! 🙄

Andy 🙂

p.s. And I very rudely ignored your mention of 1st Prize! Well done, Harley!!. I think that he looks like a lovely dog (if only I could see him!)
