To Toni: Re: Question: Regarding ERCP

[Guest guest]

Hi Toni: I don't really have any advice to offer regarding the

ERCP. I've only had one done and while it didn't help my day to day

symptoms (it's actually made it worse than it was prior to the

procedure but then again I may have just worsened ERCP or no ERCP) I

didn't get post-ERCP induced AP, thankfully. I just wanted to wish

you luck on Wednesday and hopefully all goes well. I don't see how

your doc would think you a drug seeker if he's not given you

anything since December?!?!? Can you find out if there is any kind

of Pain Management Center in your area? I now go to one and it's

about the only thing that has helped me. I was distrustful of the

doc there at first but he seems to know his stuff and sometimes

tweeks my meds here and there before my body gets too used to a

certain dosage or med. I think that would help you if you could

find one in your area. They won't think you drug seeking and will

treat your pain accordingly. Again, this is the ONLY thing that has

helped me so far. I have yet to find a good GI doc but that is

another story.

Best of luck to you and let us know how things go ok?
