Most of us have Pancreatitis, one form or another, and we'll all (probably) have diabetes, sooner or later, or not as the case may be. I certainly want to remain hopeful. Where do you live? I ask because some areas of the country are expanding into face to face and telephone support networks to reach people who don't have computers. I found that in my early days, if I just surround myself with people who took an active role in the own healing, stepped aboard the journey to read and learn, investigate all options as to their availability, but also determine where I stood on different philosophical treatment issues. That pretty much took up that one day...at a time. More than that was just a little too much. It gets easier. If you throw in all those little lessons that you feel you must be wanted to learn or you wouldn't be on this path, it even gets interesting. Karyn E. , RN, Exec.
