Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hi group. Since I'm a new member I'll introduce myself. My name is Tammy, and I live in Wilmington, N.C., USA, with my husband and two dopey dogs. Although I'm still undergoing tests, I have what the doctors think is chronic pancreatitis. My symptoms include steatorhea, severe abdominal and back pain and nausea. I started on pancreatic enzyme therapy in November and was feeling much better after four months of diarrhea and pain, but unfortunatly, I've suffered a relapse. I have an MRCP scheduled and possibly an ultrasound, endoscopy and ERCP to look forward to in the next few weeks. I'm in severe pain and am taking percocet and phernergan for the nausea. Today is the first day on short-term disability from the newspaper here where I work as an editor. Tomorrow I need to schedule an appointment with a pain specialist. Thanks for listening.
