Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 , You're fortunate that with that much surgical removal that you didn't end up with diabetes. It really can be such a pain on top of the chronic pancreatitis sometimes. When the pain gets out of control and my blood sugars go hypo there are times that I'm just totally out of it in frustration!! I hope this surgery is the answer for you. Yes, the pseudocysts can cause so much pain. Mine are 6 x 5 cm. and 5 x 5 cm. and now seem to be the primary source of all my pain. When I had pancreas burnout in the spring of last year all the pain had stopped entirely and I was med free for several months. It was delightful, but the pain began again as soon as the pseudocysts became enlarged again. My hope is that someday they will resolve entirely and I'll be free of that concern alltogether. I'll keep you in my prayers for success on this surgery and hope that everything goes well on the 19th. Try to stay away from those meds as much as you can....it sounds like some of them really make you into another person entirely. Take care, With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H.
