Sick from insulin

Has anybody out there had a problem taking Novalog? I have been on LANTUS AND NOVALOG  for 4 years now. I have chronic Lyme and part of my pancreas (tail) removed. For the last two years I've had these strange internal tremors that I have been to the doctor several times to have checked out. I'm told it's anxiety or too little sleep so I'm given RX for those, which I take for a short while, and decide that the side effects are worse than the tremors. Well this summer the tremors became really bad and a whole lot of other symptoms started too. In brief, the symptoms were ALL of the things you would feel if you became hypo BUT I have had  high BS (200's) all summer too. I've experimented off and on all summer and definitely know that these symptoms occur on the days I take Novolg. If I don't take it, then I feel fine, and NO, it does not ever drive my BS down too much or really hardly at all. Lantus seems to be OK.I feel like I am having a reverse reaction to Novalog. Has this happened to anyone else?
Seeing the doc soon.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will ask about Actrapid when I go in.

This has never happened to me, sorry I cant relate. you could try actrapid instead of novolog. Its old school but it might be worth trying a different short acting insulin. It drives me mad when DR's don't listen or hear you out and just assume things. If your feeling like crap only when you use novolog, its obviously whats causing the problem.
