No good reason for it at all. Unfortunately, this isn't a disease that affects enough people to get the attention it obviously deserves. I know people who've been in the hospital for a few days with acute pancreatitis. I personally don't know anyone other than myself who lives with this every day, every meal,every bite. That's why I joined this site.

i feel exatl like this. had a bad gallbladder that caused caused acute pancreatitis six yrs ago. went through a 2 mos stay in hospital with including several days on life support. so tired of never getting better and nothing helping

its a choice for me my doctor gives me a lot of hydromorphone to stay out of pain im in a coma 20 hours a day its a amazing I haven't burnt myself down cause I constantly pass out but let me fall asleep and wake up 8 hours into my pain window and im in real pain so I don't know the answer its like walking hospice I wish it would kill ya

Nurse 59. Hi....hey I have a question for you...are you still able to work?

I went part time the first of the year that has helped a lot. My work is so good to me. Flexible hrs, office with private bathroom. I'm one of the lucky ones otherwise I could not work. Since it doesn't seem to matter what I do what I eat the pain and bloating comes followed by diarrhea and vomiting. I hate not knowing what kind of day I will have. I wish all the best to you, hang in there

I agree completely w your post. I'm not sure why we have this awful disease but if it wasn't for all of you to share are simulating stories I would of been so lost thinking i was alone in this new life w C P :)

Oh and thank you all for listening :)

I have chronic pancreatitis and get up every day feeling not quite well. Some days I'm sick with diaherrea and pain. Others I just don't feel good. I go to an alternative doctor who has me on a number of supplements and that has given me some energy and believe it's helping. My pancreas is mildly damaged throughout. I go to Ohio State University Medical Center - I've had my pancreas duct cut several times and stents put in a number of times to let the juices flow better.
Right now I'm holding my own. I know I need to go in for a work up ERCP etc but just putting it off because when they mess with my pancreas I end up hospitalized and feeling worse before it gets better. God bless.

the trouble is the people that have never had it have NO idea what it does to you
It took nearly a year for me to be able to bend over without near blacking out
Even now 18 months later when I try to sneak a quiet one out I still half blackout
Im finally getting some energy back as Im walking 2ks per day

All the best to everyone
It aint easy being a recovering pancreatitis sufferer
