Symlin
September 18, 2005
I have a love-hate relationship with Symlin. I've been on it almost 4 months.
I hate it because I have to deal with a vial and syringes again. I hate it because I have to inject again, but at least I have the short needles. I also hate it because it works best if I take it 30 minutes before meals.
I love it, because I've been losing weight, and I don't have the constant hunger with it. I eat a lot less since I've been on it. I'm not sure exactly how much as I haven't been tracking food closely lately. I am starting to though.
What would really make things better would be to have it in a pen needle. I'm going to start a campaign of complaining about that this week. I plan to call their 1-800 number and ask. And their rep is coming to an interest group meeting, I think this Tuesday.
