Ive been on Lanreotide every 3 weeks since last year and still struggle with diarrhea and fatigue. I just started taking Xermelo (telotristat) about a month ago and it does help with the additional diarrhea but to tell you the truth I don't think anything will get rid of it. Has anyone else notices any loss of muscle tone? And the 18 gauge needed that is used or the meds, it hurts every time and the site is sore for days sometime. I keep slowly loosing weight so there is no fat to cushion it. Anyone else having trouble with muscle tone?

Taking the shot is literally a pain in the butt! I am like you no more muscle tone! Best tip I got was take all the weight off the foot on the side you are receiving the shot. I find you can never really be ready for it even though you know it’s coming! The person giving the shot matters some are smooth some aren’t. Small price to pay though to control the horrible symptoms. Are you sure they aren’t going too deep I don’t usually have pain afterwards
