my Dr. Appt. today

[Guest guest]

went pretty well I guess. The site where the tube was placed is

healing well. They of course had to pull and twist on it and made it

sore again. They did explaian and even showed me a tube like the one

they put in. He said he thinks the pancreatitis was just acute after

each ERCP and cutting of the ducts (Jan and March). He said the ducts

should stay open and need no further cutting or stenting. From what I

have read on here and the fact that the first one in Jan. was already

closing off in March makes me wonder though. I do have gastroparesis

and there is nothing that can be done for that. The feeding tube is a

good treatment since I am still not able to eat though. I still feel

like I could have the chronic Pancreatitis though from the pain and the

other symptoms and what I have studdied on here and elsewhere. I guess

we will have to wait till I feel I am having another flare and see

then. The nausea is still bad but the pain is about half of what it

was. On the same note I have not been eating either so I am not sure

how to judge that. That is all I know for sure and from what I have

looked into before the gastroparesis is maybe not as painful but just

as grim a diagnosis as the pancreatitis. Either way I will have

chronic pain and nausea to deal with from now on.
