Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hello Everyone, sorry for the long message but please read I REALLY NEED HELP I would like to tell about myself briefly. I am a 28 Y/O Italian male that has Chronic Pancreatitis I do not drink or smoke at all and I have had it for about 4 years now maybe 5 but I cann't remember. I can tell you it all started when they took out my gall bladder and 6 months after the Pain, Nausea, Vomiting, Diareah and everything has started. MY A & L was both around 4000 yes Four Thousand. It put me in the Hospital for 2 months and ever since then I have been in and out of the Hospital. I have seen so many GI doctors that I can't remember how many. Everytime I go to the E.R. with the usual pain and symptoms the Doctors there say because my Labs are not off the chart im fine and then my GI doctor calls and tells them to admit me. I am usually in the Hospital for 2 weeks at a time. Last time was in March 04 and also on Christmas and New Years. I have had every test there is from Endoscopys to ERCP to Colonoscopys and more. I have dranken so much Contrast for the CT scan that I am use to it now. Two years ago I went and took this test that they said is the GOLDEN Test to determine if you have Chronic Pancreatitis, it was Endoscopy with an U/S, sure enough when I came to the Doctor said you have BAD Chronic Pancreatitis and it's to late to operate and its to late for anything now. That was reassuring that is for sure. Because the other MD's didnt catch it and thought no 20 year old can have it they all said it wasn't but now I have the Proof that I have the Disease however it still isnt good enough for them because my Labs Amylase and Lipase are not through the roof there like over normal but like 20 40 points nothing big they say. but they dont have the pain and everything I am going through. In the past 2 weeks I have lost 30 lbs and im not eating because of the pain or the vomiting and im on medication im on the Enzymes and Prilosec and Pain medication but it seems like its not working and I need help, I dont know what to do. I just feel like I want to rip out my stomach and get a new one and I need help on what I should do next. I went to a new GI Doctor thinking he will be good because he was reffered by my Pain doctor but he blew me off and said I should see someone else SO I am begging anyone to help me in anything that they can tell me or help me in any way. It is effecting my wife and my family my job everything but firstly I mean the intanmacy between us has stoped for a while now because of the pain and come one im only 28 and I am in my prime but it hurts and im in pain and its hard for her to understand and she is frusterated and I am as well and I just dont know what to do. If you have anything to say or can help me out please please EMAIL me or post it here ok? Thankyou in advance but please someone HELP.
