How does Dr. Lehman tell one patient that pancreatic enzymes don't work very well and then puts another patient on creon. Any thoughts on that? A., you go to Dr. Lehman and take octreotide - did he ever recommend other pancreatic enzymes to you? Cecilia in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2002 Report Share Posted April 7, 2002 I don't have any idea what he's doing! Doctors are like that for some reason that I don't understand. I've had the same doc tell me two different stories on different visits. I just speak up and correct them when I catch it! They don't like it much but it makes them explain themselves! lol The Creon makes me sick though so I have to change. I had many people email me and tell me it made them sick too when I asked. So maybe you're just a lucky one that didn't have to deal with it! Hope you are having a good, pain free day!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Dear ; Glad to hear that Fred is back home. I hope that the prednisone helps him get back to good health quickly. I supose now you'll be calling him " Pred " instead of " Fred " ? Best regards. Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
