Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hey - I am just joining the group... I am almost 21 years old and was diagnosed w/ CP right before my 18th birthday. Is there anyone out there that is young and can give advice on a few things? Right now my biggest worry is birth control... does anyone have any advice? I'm getting married in 18 months and just trying to figure out what the best step would be. Anyone that was diagnosed at a young age please contact me. I would love to hear from anyone though. Well, I have to go finish my homework... UIUC never stops calling me to do homework.... only 1 1/2 years left! YEAH! have a great night everyone!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Mirina is my favorite right now (no period! Yay!I don't even have a sex life-got it to stop my cramps and flooding....works perfectly) http://www.mirena-us.com/index.html Its not systemic and does not contain estrogen. The minipill is another non-estrogen option. Estrogens have been associated with pancreatitis in the past, check with your doc on this. Then there is the cervical cap or diaphragm, no horomones at all with those. Female condom, male condom....lots of non-estrogen options. Depends on your tolerance for for messing with accessories.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hi Kate, My daughter is 23 and started having pancreatitis attacks in March of this year. No one has said " chronic " yet and her doctors are still discussing options for treatment (this has been so emotionally difficult!). But to your question..she takes the Deprovera shot every 3 months. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Lynne > > > > Hey - I am just joining the group...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 ktgrace06, Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! I am twenty-four and graduating from ISU in December. I am lucky to be here. I started having recurring acute pancreattis attacks when I was eight. When I was eighteen I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatits. I have to go now, but I will try to e-mail you later. Crystal Galloway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
