Frustrated
I have had abdominal pain for years and was too scared to have it checked out so I ignored it for as long as I could. I remember one evening sitting with my wife and had the worse pain on my right upper side abdomen. It hurt so bad you couldn't even touch it. Well My doctor at the time thought it was my gallbladder so that what we focused on. I continue to have this pain and they continue to look at my gallbladder. Until one day my wife had, had enough and said you are going to see a gastro doctor so the can look and really see what is going on. Up until this time the pain had been ongoing for a year. Anything lasting a year I knew something was wrong. So that gastro doctor did an EUS and diagnosed me with chronic pancreatitis. I try to eplain to people how I feel and sometimes I feel like I am crazy. I'm not sure how to feel. Just had an amylase and lipase and it came back normal. I did read this could happen, but I need people to understand the pain I am goign through. Not sure what to think about this. should I be happy? Don't know............

If you friend me, you can see my frustrations post. I just had a horrible attack Thursday, and all my tests were normal, but I thought I couldn\'t hurt anymore if I tried. It is so frustrating, but I am thankful for my doctors who are understanding. I have not had elevated enzymes in 2 years, just constant pain., and at times just completely unrelenting. As bad as i hate it for you, this is what this site is about.... Reading your post made me feel better and not so alone. I am so thankful for all of you that share and empathize along your journeys...but please Lord find a cure for us all. You are not crazy! CP is just an atypical pain in the rear with no definitive process along the way. I see my GI wednesday and will share any info I learn. Thank you again and I am so very sorry for your suffering. We just have to keep on keeping on with the Grace and mercy of our Lord! Our sermon last night was about Jesus healing the leper......I am. Not giving up on My God, He is still more than able!
pebblz21 I\'m not not sure how to friend anyone can you tell me how?
At the top of someone\'s profile, there is a section to send a hug, add as a friend, send a message. (that would be a private message like email). You just click on add as a friend, a self enclosed message box pops up to that person that says will u be my friend, then hit send. When someone sends you one it will come up and you can accept it or ignore it. I set my profile like that so I could monitor who looked at my things....I am funny... I don\'t like everyone seeing all my meds I talk about and private emotions ya know. But I feel like you are trust worthy, so I don\'t mind.
Thank you so much I am clueless when it comes to how things are done. I too need someone trust worthy. As I have mentioned I alraedy by someone trying to pull a scam twice so thank you for all your help.
