Quality of life with CP and Pancreatitis and pregnancy?

[Guest guest]

Hi all. Been very long since I've posted. I've still not been

diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis but it still seems the only

possibility they've come up with and I am still ill and unable to

put on weight. I've been told I " could " have chronic pancreatitis

and in living with this, quite miserably at times, for the past year

and a half or so I have many questions in thinking that I might have

to try to live with this for the rest of my life. I'm wondering

what the possibility of a " normal " and healthy pregnancy is for

someone with chronic pancreatitis. I can't imagine being able to

handle it at the point I'm at now but would be disappointed to know

that it might not be possible. And I don't relish the idea of

becoming pregnant only to have it make me and/or my baby very ill.

Also, in general, is it possible to live as long as others when you

have CP? Might sound like a stupid question but doctors don't tell

me much since they haven't diagnosed me so they don't want to scare

me and what I read online is so grim. Any input you can give would

be much appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Sincerely,
