I need help pancreas attack

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, my name is Esther and I live in Montana, I am 57

years

old and live with my husband and three grandsons we are raising.

About three years ago, I had part od my colon removed due to

precancerous polyps, since then I have been disgnosed with irritable

bowel syndrome with severe diahrea and diverticulitis and most

recently pancreatitis. I believe I have had these attacks three

times.

My doctor is wonderful except he is never serious about anything and

this last incident scared me to death. I awoke with the most

horrible

pains I have ever felt in my life worst then labor pains, I went into

the emergency room and they did blood urine tests and xrays and two

shots of morphine and sent me home. I called my doctor the next day

and he scheduled ultra sounds which showed a swellen and inflamed

pancreas he gave Pangestyme 1 with meals and Lortab 10/500 1 every

four hours as needed. I am feeling better but worried this is going

to

happen again. My diahrea problems are so bad and I cannot hold it in

I have had several very embarrassing moments, I try not to leave the

house unless I absolutely have too. I am trying to find a doctor who

specializes in the problems I have but that is very difficult here in

Montana. I don't know what to do anymore. Thanks Esther

Esther,

I am glad that you found this group. They are very helpful.

Unfortunately, I don't know what to say. There is a possibility that

it could happen again, but I hope it doesn't. I live in Idaho. Are

you close to Idaho?
