Hi all, ive recently been diagnosed with CP, with pancreatic calcification, however i been suffering severe abdominal pains a yr and a half before the diagnosis. Im at a stage where i dont know what to do, the docs dont know the cause, im totally lost. ive changed my diet cut out oily and spicy foods and has worked and also stopped taking caffine. is there anyone out there that can gice me advice, as i cant work can train or work out everything has stopped. first time im doing something like this so if ive broken any ettiquete rules or anything just let me know > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > first time im doing something like this so if ive broken any ettiquete > rules or anything just let me know Hi Zak, I don't know a darned thing about pancreatis, except that it can sometimes cause/lead to/result in Type 2 diabetes. I think there are some folks who have posted here in the past who have been diagnosed with it, and hopefully you will get some good info from them. I did recall a poster who referenced another website specifically for chronicpancreatitis suffers. I never went there, but FWIW the addy is www.chronicpancreatitis.net Anyway, I just wanted to say keep your chin up and educate yourself about your disease, it'll serve you in the long run. Best wishes, Ricavito Thanks Ricavito, ive tried the addy but it seems that it no longer exists. ive suffered the pain for well over 2 years and for the first year and a half it was misdiagnosed and its onlyin the past few months that they have realised its CP. so ive read up on al of what it is, but just managing the pain and constantly on meds just does my nut in. lol > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > first time im doing something like this so if ive broken any ettiquete > rules or anything just let me know Sorry to hear that. My dad had pancreatitis and was very ill for the better part of a year, but I believe he had the acute kind, and that's different. Wish I could be of more help.

Presumably you have also dropped ALL alcohol? It took a neighbour's husband three hospital visits with acute pancreatitis to finally give up alcohol altogether. He spent a week at a time on IV for nourishment to totally give his pancreas a rest. Did your doctors do that for you? Are you also only eat small meals but more often, instead of large meals? Did the doctors discuss giving enzymes to help with digestion? My daughter's boyfriend was stabbed in the pancreas and he needs enzymes or is quite miserable with "bowel" problems. I urge you to talk further to your doctors as pancreatitis can lead to diabetes. You need lots of professional help. Hi there, thanks for the reply.. im in a similar position where i eat small meals through out the day, i also have had the iv treatment whilst spending 2 weeks in hospital, and have been given creon which i believe is an enzyme to assist with digestion. thoug i have the medication and seen the docs on a regular basis, the pain i suffer is just terrible and had stopped me from working, or doing anything, as i when i exert my body, just a small amout of work it triggers the onset of an attack which then in turn leads to more calcium deposits in my pancreas.. im on pain killers to control the pain and at the mo they dont know what the cause is. so im hoping someone out there might have a similar thing and share their secrets > Hi there, thanks for the reply.. im in a similar position where i eat > small meals through out the day, i also have had the iv treatment [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > dont know what the cause is. so im hoping someone out there might have > a similar thing and share their secrets I am sorry to hear that. I hope the doctors find out soon how to relieve the pain and inflammation. |
