Summary of Side Effects: subcutaneous stomach soreness, temporary blurry vision (for 10 minutes after injection), intermittent headache, moderate to severe joint pain. I started using Byetta 5 mcg about 3 month ago. Prescribed dose is 2 injections per day. I’m gradually working up to a consistent 2 per day compliance. I have experienced intermittent headaches, and I never used to get headaches. I have had moderate intermittent joint pain over last month in both elbows. Yesterday evening I experienced severe debilitating joint pain in my left elbow. The surrounding muscle was not even tender. It has subsided today, but is still limiting motion of that arm. Byetta may not be for me. I believe that immune response to this drug may vary widely. I have not felt particularly nauseated. Just mild stomach discomfort, and now the severe joint pain.
