Re: Hi Everyone

<< Does anyone else have ideopathic

pancreatitis? >>

Me. I had my first attack when I was 16, a few months after a car accident

where my shoulder belt broke and I was held in place by my lap belt. At that

time, I had really severe abdominal bruising, so they thought that might have

caused it, but there was never any damage found on my pancreas from the

accident.

I had one doc tell me I had recurrent acute pancreatitis, another said

chronic, and the one I have now has both acute and chronic written on the

bottom of all the paperwork I get at appointments!

Good luck - sometimes I think the not knowing why is almost as bad as

anything else involved in this illness.

Me too. I was diagnosed in March of 2000 with enzyme levels over 9000. No

reason whatsoever as I do not drink alcohol and had no history of gallbladder

problems. Had it again in August and October and am still on tpn as a result

of that last bout. It never seems to end, does it?

Be well,

I HAVE IDEOPATHIC CHRINIC PANCREATITIS. I HAVE HAD IT FOR FOUR YEARS.

THEY FIGURE MINE CAME FROM SHINGLES, WHICH I HAD COME DOWN WITH NOT

LONG BEFORE MY FIRST ATTACK. I HOPE YOU DO WELL. IT HAS BEEN A

BATTLE FOR ME. WAITING FOR RESULTS FROM A RECENT CT AS I HAVE BEEN

REAL SICK AND ALOT OF PAIN FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS. (AGAIN) GOOD

LUCK!!!!!(I HAVE BEEN TOLD AND HAVE READ THAT PANC CAN BE CAUSED FROM

VIRAL INFECTIONS SUCH AS CHIX POX, MUMPS OR EVEN SOMETHING LIKE

SHINGLES.)

Kim,

I don't think I have talked with you before. My

daughter Jackie has Idiopathic CP. I was worried when

you said you had chicken pox. I wondered if it would

make you have an attack cuz one of Jackie's attack

they said could be cuz of a viral infection that I

really do not know if she had one or not. I just think

the pancreas is a picky little organ (gland or

whatever it is LOL) I hope you are doing better.

talk to ya soon

Kim,

Hello Friend!!

I've been so worried about you. Are you OK? Is the chicken pox

clearing up any yet? I wish I would have known you were in

the " slammer " again. When you are able, please let me know how you

are and how things are at home. Thanks, I've been thinking about you.

Love,

Hi Rose,

Sounds like you want to be an intuitive eater all right, lol. As do we

all! I think there are programs out there that try to approach

compulsive eating in a restrictive way--to tame or control it, I guess

you could say. IE is a path to free yourself from it. Not a short or

easy path, but you could call it a journey of discovery. : ) Glad to

see you here.

I'm new to this group. I joined yesterday after seeing Intuitive

Eating mentioned in an article and then found the website and joined

the group. I don't know much about Intuitive Eating but I am drawn to

the idea because I very much want to be a "normal" eater. I want to be

able to eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full, to have peace

with food, peace when I eat it and peace when I leave it alone. I have

been in many different eating and weight management programs over the

years. The last program I was in, although there were no explicit rules

about it, the general thinking was that there was no hope for an

over-eater of ever being a "normal eater". And that a food plan and

some some nonnegotiable rules about food were a necessity for lasting

success. I'm here because I'm hoping that that isn't true and that I

can become a normal eater.

I've been thin and I have been fat. Right now I am about 14 pounds

overweight. I would like to lose those 14 pounds, but even more than

that, I would like to have a healthy self-esteem just as I am, and to

enjoy my life to the fullest even with 14 extra pounds.
