To Jerry: Re: Scary New Symptoms Has Anyone Ever Had This Happen?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jerry: Now I feel badly about not getting back to you and here

you are writing me and apologizing when you're in pain. I'm sooo

sorry and hope that now you are feeling better than when you wrote

to me.

I had a celiac block done on....geez, I tell you these meds sure

make my short term memory fuzzy and can you believe I can't even

remember if it was last week or the week before?? Wow....didn't

think I was this bad!!

Anyway, this is the third one I have had. The first one sort

of " tood " right away, the second I was sick for three weeks

afterwards and this the third seems to be doing the same as the

second did or I should say that I'm reacting to it like the second

one unfortunately. I've been awfully sick for the past couple of

weeks and today was the first since last Fall that I actually

couldn't get up out of bed until just awhile ago enough to even get

our 9 yr old off to the school bus. My husband had already gone to

work and they're having personnel issues, lots of layoffs, etc., and

they are so short handed that the poor guy can't leave to come and

help me out so our 9 yr old ended up staying home from school

today. We're going to have to work some kind of system out for

times like this but then again, our son worries about me so much

when I get bad enough to go to bed that he actually WANTS to stay

and help me out.

This needs to be addressed as well though because we certainly don't

want it to interfere with his education and so far it hasn't...a few

days here and there and that's all we can possibly allow for.

Unfortunately, we both have no family here (all on the West Coast

with a few down in Virginia Beach, VA) except for our oldest

daughter who it will suffice to say here has basically stated that

my illness is all in my head since I've been to AND I QUOTE " so many

doctors that have FULL medical educations and only a couple of them

think it's your pancreas Mom....I'm beginning to think it's all in

your head. " Nice,huh? Needless to say we haven't spoken for a few

weeks as I just can't get past that statement...and I'll need time

to think about the best way to talk with her when the time

comes...ok probably more than you wanted to know, sorry!! LOL!!

Anyway, you'll learn that I have unusually " long winded emails

sometimes!! " Don't intend to and then I just keep typing and

typing. As I said, I hope you're better now and I hope that I can

get on the upswing myself. I have been really sick every single day

for over a month now straight....in some form of intensity/severity

which is leading me to believe that there is something else possibly

going on besides pancreatic pain....it involves the bowels so much

and particularly when the food has left the stomach and into the

first part of the bowels I get excruciating pain and then as it

moves along the intestinal route as it were the pain doesn't go away

but it subsides...

That's why I've asked for other's opinions on whether or not their

illnesses are this way or if this sounds different....Anyway, hope

you're better today.

> , I am very, very sick today. The pain is just excruciating.

If I don't

> get to the doc today, that's why. But I haven't forgotten about

you. Sorry

Hi ,

Thanks for your kind thoughts. You certainly have your hands full. I'll keep

praying that you get better. I am in pretty much the same boat, but I've

been having this weird attack since Father's Day weekend. I hope it ends

soon. I am having one of those days today when the meds don't seem to work.

Do you know what I mean? The nausea meds don't stop the nausea, the pain

meds don't touch the pain, etc, etc.

No rush, but let me know what you want me to do in regards to my Doctor. I

can call his secretary and set an appointment for you if you'd like.

Best Regards,

Jerry/NC
