Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 hi,everyone, i hope everyone is doing well today.i just have a few questions.i know we are all diffrent in how frequent we have attacks/flare-ups, but since i had that bad attack in sept. after ercp, 2 days in hospital,i have been feeling alot better.in fact i haven't felt this well in about a year. but i still wake up everyday,and everytime i eat,just waitng for it to happen again.i have even eaten a few " no-no " foods with no bad effects.not that i want it to happen,but have any of you at the begining of your disease think maybe the drs. are wrong and that you don't have cp? how long have any of you went between attacks? i know this sounds silly,like i'm in denial,maybe? the only symptom i'm having is a little more weight loss,even tho my appetite is back to normal.some nausea,but i eat anyway. thank you for answering.and a pain-free day to all. cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 -Hi Cindy, I had two really bad attacks (hospitalized) in 2003. Since then I went almost two years with no flare ups and minor problems. I took my enzymes, ate low fat most of the time (cheated occasionally) and became very complacent that I wasn't going to have any more attacks. So I ate more of what I shouldn't, wasn't quite as careful to be sure I ate only low fat. And for almost two years it worked. In July of this year I had the first of three small attacks. None of them have hospitalized me but it gave me a wake up call that the disease is just sleeping. It is still there. My most recent mini attack was yesterday. They are enough to put me in pain to where I have to take pain medication to not be in agony but I have managed to control them at home. Take my advice, don't mess with the recommendations. Eat low fat, take your enzymes, don't drink and hope that the sleeping dragon stays asleep for a long time. I am now going to tow the line and be very very good, cause these mini attacks have reminded me what this disease really is.
