Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, Datti Ahmed, boycotted the polio vaccine
in 2003, claiming that the oral polio vaccine was contaminated with HIV and

distrust.

Benefits
@user I just restarted
taking victoza which made
me so sick to my stomach
till my body got used to it.
Aside from the nausea
(worse today) and
occasional bouts of
hypoglycemia (better
today), four days on
Victoza and down 5.3 lbs!
Amazing!

Issues
Anyone else having issues
with plugger jamming on
their flex pen of victoza?
The only difference I see is
the new needles . I had to
stick myself 4 times today
to get almost a full dose.
Frustration. Doesn't seem
related to where I am into
pen, first dose, midway ,
last. Third pen this has
happened on in a row

Use
Had my first injection of
Victoza. So if it doesn't kill
me from one of side effects
my sugar should stabilize.
One side effect is puzzling.
"For type 2 Diabetics only.
Not intended for type 1
diabetics". I'm the poster

“I've been on Victoza for a total of 17
days now for pre-diabetes. After the 5th
day the nausea hit and it's horrible. I'm
afraid to eat anything and the smell of
fried foods kill me. I started on 0.6 for 7
days and now I'm up to 1.2.....when
does it get better? My Dr
recommended that I go back to 0.6 for
a couple weeks to see if it helps. I feel
nauseous, bloated, stomach hurts,
dizzy at times......I have lost weight
(which for me is a good thing ) but it's
not good enough to keep feeling so
horrible. Anyone have any suggestions
for the nausea and bloatng?”

CLINICAL TRIAL DISCUSSION
I saw some discussion about the clinical trial for ####### but
don't think I've seen my question asked before. I started the
trial a little over three months ago and have seen zero
improvement...
…I am due for another appointment tomorrow and am still
feeling intense frustration over the lack of improvement…I've
been sorely tempted to give up and try something else…
