How's it all going? Do you have any questions or comments?"
carolyn mcquis commented on Cheryl Pealer's blog post 'Symlin users'"I need immediate help. Is there anyone out there taking Symlin that is not on insulin injections?"
Cheryl Pealer commented on Michelle Reinhardt's group 'Gastroparesis'"I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis Last year in the hospital. They did an endoscopy and stretched the opening between the stomach and intestine. That helped so much but is not a permanent fix. They cannot stent it because it has to be able to open…"

Cheryl Pealer commented on Cheryl Pealer's blog post 'Symlin users'"Scott,
I know that Gastroparesis is a complication of diabetes but the Symlin use slows the digestion down and they felt it contributed to the onset."
MelissaBL commented on Cheryl Pealer's blog post 'Symlin users'"We have several members here who deal with gastroparesis. Check out their group here. So sorry you're struggling with it now. :("
Scott K. Johnson commented on Cheryl Pealer's blog post 'Symlin users'"Very interesting - are they sure it was the symlin that caused it? Gastoparesis is also a complication of diabetes without any contributing causes... ?"

Cheryl Pealer commented on Scott Strumello's group 'Symlin Users Forum'"I started on Symlin the end of 2007. I was so thrilled at the way it worked since weight loss for me was almost impossible. I lost 30 pounds in about 7 months but it did not come without complications. I was hospitalized in March 2008 and diagnosed…"
