Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hello All Well, I have some really great news and some really frustrating news. The good news is that I am going to have a baby! I am so excited as we have been trying now for about 9 months. This is my first pregnancy and I am a little nervous about my meds but the high risk ob says we will manage. The only thing I had to stop immediately was the Elavil. My pain meds I only take as needed anyway. I haven't had a great need for them lately. Lets hope it stays that way. OK for the really frustrating news. So I call my GI to tell him about the pregnancy and that the CT we had scheduled (to look at a pseudocyst) for March would obviously have to be canceled. I also had some questions about pregnancy and pancreatitis. I asked him since I have had part of the tail of my pancreas removed if I was more likely to become diabetic during the pregnancy. Then I think he said (I know I should have clarified but I am so emotional and I just couldn't deal with it at the moment) " IF there was an underlying problem of chronic pancreatitis I would be worried. " I was shocked this is coming from the man who on October 28, 2002 told me that it was CP. I am so frustrated. But the weirdest thing is that he does not question my pain. He thought it was a really good idea that I see the high risk ob and that if I had increased pain during the pregnancy that he would be willing to work with the ob to get me comfortable. So why does he have me on Pancrease Enzymes? I am so confused. Maybe I misunderstood him but I don't think so. I think he thinks the pain is likely from my pancreas but maybe he doesn't think it is cp. Then what other pancreas pain could I be having? I want to call him back but every time I think about I cry uncontrollably. I thought I had found out what was wrong with me and now I am back to square one? Actually I do know what is wrong with me and I thought I had found someone who knew also. The only good thing is he is willing to help with the pain, but what pain is he treating? I am totally in shock and confused. I am going to tell me high risk ob what happened and maybe have him call me GI. I just am to emotional to do it. I also thought about writing a letter and faxing it to him. Any ideas? As always thanks for letting me vent! Sending lots of happy thoughts your way.....
