Tracey,

We all understand the frustration you and your husband are going through. Please

try to understanmd that he may never be the same again. You just may have to

learn to accept pancreatitis as part of your lives together and find a way to

work it into your lives, to which you can cope and live with.

I have lived with it for years now. The only thing I am getting from my husband

or son is not complaints of my frequent pain or lack of ability to do things I

used to. It's my stamina isn't the same. I am tired all the time and I hurt that

require me to take pain pills that makes me feel dopey and woozy. My husband

says my eyes twirl when I take my meds. He said it makes me look cute. My son

just wants me to be able to stay awake past 10:00 pm on the weekends to spend

more time with him. Other than that, we have learned to deal with this, once I

found a specialist who actually knew what they were doing.

You two will work it out. I promise.

hello sandy, thank you for your response. my husband is really freaked out, and

so am I. All is want is for him to feel alot less pain so that we can somewhat

get on with our lives. we've only been married 1yr and i want him back to the

way he used to be. we have an appointment with a new doctor on november 14, and

i'm praying that he will be able to do something. sometimes i feel like putting

a gun to their heads and demanding them to fix my husband. but that would just

put me in jail, and that would'nt be very good.but i get just as frustrated and

upset as he does and it takes a toll on the marriage, you know. we'll keep you

up to date on the doctors appointment, see how things go. i may be in jail by

the 14th of november if we don't get the answers we want. Ha,Ha! blessing from

tracey, richard's wife. take care .........
