Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Patty, Hi I just wanted to let you know I have looked all over the internet for links between stress and pancreatitis, Ive yet to find one. I personally believe it is one of my triggers, as soon as I feel overworked, rushed, and ready to scream my pain kicks in. Today was a bad day at work and it seems to be acting up now. Cassie is in my prayers and I hope that you can find a way to help her overcome this hurtle. Hope & Prayers Maines cincinnati, ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Patty, I have no answers for you. I cannot even imagine how hard this must be for you and for Cassie. I do know that stress plays a part in the attacks for me. However, you'd probably never get the doctors to understand that! Have you considered pulling Cassie out of school and homeschooling her? I know that is a huge commitment but that may be the only way to get her away from this horrible teacher who it seems is helping to destroy Cassie's health! Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. W CP & STREES Hello to all, I really need some help here. I have been a member for about 3 months now because of my daughter Cassie. I read everyone's posts every day. I think I have finially found Cassie's attack trigger only problem is I can't get any of her DR's to agree. Several of you early on talked about the relationship between stress and CP attacks. Where can I find information to back this so her Dr's will back me on this. Let me explain, Every morning she gets up and goes to school sometime between 10 and noon she calls me to come home due to pain. Her pain does not exist out side the school year. Last year she only had 5 attacks the year before it was one. I can trace the events of her life at those times to stress at school. Now comes our problem. Cassie has ADHD as well as a non verbal learning disorder. She is not on anything for the ADHD due to damage it can cause her liver and she already has adnormal lab work for that. So she has this teacher that she has for 3 classes. the 1st one is in the AM the other 2 after lunch. This woman stresses her out so much and picks on her due to CP related absenses. and of course the usual " you don't look sick to me " . I am now in a big fight with the school system trying to get her away from this woman because her Dr's her locally have never heard of this. I really need to get this sitation resolved, my kid needs an education she also needs to have pain free days just like the rest of you also. We already have problems getting her any pain relief, she's only 12 we wouldn't want to cause her to become addicted. That's the Dr's not me unless her levels rise to 3x's normal and she's throwing up they give her nothing. Yes, I have been trying for 2 months to get her referred to pain management. It's not the insurance but the pain clinics, without a Dr's referal no appointment. Anyway we feel so helpless, this is my baby and I can't seem to get anywhere with school or her Dr's. I got told by her GI in Portland today that i knew more about SPINK1 mutation and it's relatioship to CP than he did. Boy do I feel confident. Help!

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 It seems like the school is causing the stress and making her sick. I remember as a child that I used to get sick from stress in school. Now I am not a parent, but I suffer from this disease also. My suggestion would be to take her out of school and homeschool her. I hope this helps. CP & STREES Hello to all, I really need some help here. I have been a member for about 3 months now because of my daughter Cassie. I read everyone's posts every day.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2002 Report Share Posted December 18, 2002 Sorry to hear about your daughter. How horrible to deal with this at such a young age. I cannot offer you help as far as the CP, but as for schooling, the school system is required by law to give each child a proper education even if it means a tutor comes to your home at their expense. Find a child advocate in your area and discuss your issues. They are a huge help. Many of them deal with the ADHD area daily and can deal with the pain issues as well. My aunt used to be a child advocate and helped lots of children. I hope this helps. I wish you all the best. Lanie Hello to all, I really need some help here.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 I can say with certainty that stress is a contributor for my illness. At least in my opinion. ;-) I was a professional Microsoft Geek for a software dev company. Extreme stress started during the Y2k scare. Long hours of testing, planning and implementation on top of the normal job stressed everyone out. By Feb 2000, I was the only one left of the team. Even my boss left. That was when they told me they were not going to fill the missing positions right away and I would have to keep up. I was supposed to support 358 workstations and 12 servers all by myself. It got so bad, I couldn't go to the toilet without being chased down for some problem or other. Well, 9 months later, they still had not hired replacements and I couldn't take it anymore. My Panc just started acting up one day and never stopped. I was diagnosed after an endoscopic ultrasound and have been home ever since. As I was not a drinker, my GI has never convinced me as to how this happened. He only offers suggestions and possibilities. He is currently of a mind the sphincter of oddi needs to be cut. Of course, he tells me that its chances of success are limited and it could easily cause a serious attack. So far, the threat of attack keeps me from doing it. The pain scares me and if I can avoid it, all the better. Anyway, it is my opinion it was long term exposure to stress and it still has a significant impact on my health. Even today, as I get frustrated with the doctors, debt collectors and skeptics, I can feel my pain/nausea intensify in direct relation with that frustration. To combat the stress issues, I like to hold my breath. For some reason, the extra pressure my lungs put on my panc takes some of the pain away and it can be relaxing taking slow, deep breathes between holding them. It doesn't always help the pain, but it does help relax K CP & STREES Hello to all, I really need some help here. I have been a member for about 3 months now because of my daughter Cassie.
