Re : I have a new doctor

[Guest guest]

Hello Heidi,

I'm just delighted for you that you have the hope of having your

pain issues addressed so well.Your own doctor is obviously excellent

and also knows he can work with you as a knowledgeable, co-operative

and perceptive patient. I do so hope that this works out well for

you.

I read your message to the parents of the little girl with CP facing

a possible TP. I do hope they find the right answer for them very

soon.

I'm very interested in the notion of burnout as my pancreas must be

so near the end of its functioning now. There doesn't seem to be any

digestive function left and very soon, according to both my gastro

and the panc specialist ( " Could be tomorrw....could be in a year's

time " to quote!), it won't be producing insulin either. I'd love to

think that this might mean being totally pain-free (assuming I had

no pseudocysts, of course, or other complications) but I don't think

it's a universal spin-off of burnout, is it? It would be wonderful

if it were! Of course, I know the diabetes will take some getting

used to and it's hard work coping adequately with it.

For you, I hope that the pseudocysts resolve themselves and that you

go back to being wonderfully pain-free. You deserve it, if anyone

does!

Of course, I wish pain-free days for all of us and especially for

that little girl.

With good wishes,

Fliss
