Need Info & prayers

[Guest guest]

Mark seems to jump from the frying pan into the fire with the

pancreatitis. They have told us that he needs to see a pain

management dr. but that the dr. can't see him until the end of

April. Hello - what's the point of waiting 2 more months. With the

constant chronic pain - he is already saying he wishes God would let

him die. I can't even imagine the pain he is going through or what

y'all are going through with this disease.

They put him on oxycontin - but he ended up throwing up several

times and the phenorgan hasn't helped stop the naseua. So when he

threw up the other evening and then passed out - I called his

pancreas doctor. He wants him off the oxycontin for several days to

see if that helps. (trying to see if the oxycontin is the

culprit). Well, I was at a baby shower yesterday and Mark passed

out with only our 9 year old son at home.

This is such a frustrating illness. Pain medicine is supposed to

help not hinder. And on top of all this - his hips, knees and

ankles are killing him to the point that he looks like a old man

when he gets up and moves around.

Any advice on diet and or anything that you may have found to work

in your worst times would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for letting me vent.
