hi, first post from new member

[Guest guest]

My name is Margaret, I have Chronic Idiopathic Pancreatitis and IBS.

I just need to vent a little, I hope that this is ok?

My pet rattie died Monday. He went in his sleep, he is survived by

his brother, who is confused and looks for him a lot. Leopold was a

little bundle of love in a rat suit. He never showed anything but

love and a good appetite. Losing him and setting up a move to

California for my job, and the usual stress, has given me a very bad

pain week.

Also I was denied membership in another Panc group here on Yahoo!

Groups because I am a member of another Panc group. The last place I

expected to find politics was in an illness support group.

I am scared about finding a new doctor for pain management in Orange

County Ca. My pain is bad tonight and all day. I see my MD on

Wednesday and hope that he will titrate me up as I've been on the

same pk doseage for 2 years now. My husband is my caretaker and he is

wonderful.

I am just so depressed. I apologise for the venting, I hope you are

all having pain free days. I'd love to IM with anyone here in the

evenings, I am in Florida til 6-29 then in CA. My AOLIM is

JessRabbit93. Thanks for listening.
