Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 well,i had my 1st g.i. visit yesterday and everything went fairly well.he mentioned the term 'chronic relapsing pancreatitis'? but my pcp dr. didn't send over my ct results so he couldn'nt tell me a whole lot. iv'e already called the gi office this morning,and the dr. is supposed to call me back once he veiws them.he did increase my enzymes from 3 a meal to 6.and gave me more pain meds though i have'nt been taking many because of the side effects,dizziness and lightheaded,with 3 teenage boys here, all 3 have jobs,and 1 plays football i do an awful lot of driving back and forth,so he told me to break them in half,and take 1/2 every 2-3 hrs instead of a whole every 4-6 hrs. has anyone ever heard of doing this?But the most wonderful part was he wants me to have an ERCP done!(YIKES!!)never had one before,makes me really nervous!he was real thorough explaining every thing to me he even spent about 45 minutes in the room talking to me about everything thats been going on and he wanted to put me on anti-depressants but i said not right now ,i think he could tell i've been having a pretty rough time (mentally) with all this.he is very aware if my nervousness about having the ERCP,i asked him to 'knock me out and he said he would...we'll see....he also said,in his experience,people who have calcification of the pancreas have LESS complications with the ERCP.has anyone ever heard of that or was he just trying to make me feel better?sorry this is so long.hope everyone is having a good day!!!!!Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
