Hello All

I went to the local hospital with stomach pains and had a drip and morphine in me within 1/2 an hour
They tried to get me into a city hospital after my first night but it took 4 days and i stayed another 6 days in the city hospital
I WAS a heavy drinker,drank beer from when i got home from work until i went to bed
I realize now i had a couple of minor attacks a couple of months earlier after eating nectarines,on the day of the big one i ate a nectarine after lunch two hours later i was crook
Anyway my question is has anyone had after affects eg- no energy,light headiness tired all the time
No Energy.....i sit in a lounge chair and my body feels like a lead weight
Light Headiness.....when i get up out of a chair i half blackout(not so bad now)....playing 9 holes of golf in a cart(no walking) after 6 or 7 holes i sort of half blackout after a swing
Tiredness....can have 8 hours of solid sleep and cant get out of bed,sometimes 10 hours
I would like to know has anyone else experienced the same or similar
Thanking You all very much

"one Dr. told me for every day you are the hospital with pancreatitis, it will take a week for you to get back to where you were before it happened"
I was in for 10 days and its over 10 months now for me and im still relapsing
Thanks for your input mate
I just passed the 2 year mark since my bout of pancreatitis
This time last year i completed a project at home in very hot conditions that took me 2 weeks(looks great)
I have put on 10 kilos so im well and truly overweight, I have got myself a capa machine for sleep apnea but i still have no energy
I started walking on a treadmill 2ks every day for a few months but lost no weight
I have since given up icecream and chocolate but my energy levels seem to be getting worse
Im having trouble getting to sleep but when im asleep ww3 wouldnt wake me
Im getting so sick of this its enough to drive me to drink
Im over this
i don't have any symptoms even though part of my pancreas died
the fatigue is never ending, Im starting to wonder if i have developed a heart problem from the pancreatitis
Next time im at the doc im going to ask about any chance of heart problems from this disease
Juicing works well for me and I've just discovered the world of essential oils.... Wow! You should look into some aromatherapy...much more powerful that I expected.
Peace
all blood tests were ok recently and im on pills for high bp
i eat whatever i like when i like with no pain
i seem to have more energy after eating ice cream and sweets but it has turned my 6 pack into a keg....haha
i dont drink alcohol anymore or fizzy drinks
the only thing i do is take grape seed extract capsules every day and eat grapes when in season
i cant get out of bed until my body is ready so going away for a weekend and having to be out by 10:00am is a real pain
i am all ears for any thoughts
