Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi , Sorry for the way you feel. I'm 25 now and I sometimes feel like I'm an old lady! It's hard at times taking care of my 3 yr old with this pain. It's sometimes very frustrating for my husband too, him seeing me in so much pain I get scared at times that he's going to leave me for someone else because I'm always sick. We've had to cancel many dates with friends because I don t feel good. My 1st two attacks happened 1-3 months before our wedding! I m very thankful that I have found my new doctor. I hope you get answers to what is causing all this. If you are feeling full too quickly you may want to ask your GI to do a Gastric Emptying Study on you. It's a 60-90 minute study where they can monitor the rate at which your stomach empties out. If it's too slow you may also have Gastroparesis. I lost about 10-15 pounds in a period of 2-3 months (that was last year). Now with the pregnancy I've been able to gain weight....which is good. My father got pancreatitis many years ago but his cause was due to alcohol.....I was about 3-4 yrs old. I think he only got 1 attack. The enzymes I was prescribed were Viokase Tablets. I take 4 tablets before meals. I don't feel a big difference when I take them. About your CT scan, if it comes out normal they can do an MRCP....which is like an MRI or they can do an ERCP, which is more like a procedure to look at the pancreas and the ducts. Many doctors don't like to do the ERCP's because the procedure itself can cause a pancreatic attack. Try to hang in there. If you feel like your doctor isn't helping you....change doctors. Try to find out from people in this group of which doctors they go to. I wish you the best! Take care! Sincerely, Liana Liana D.
