Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Hey Liana, My name is and I'm 16. I suffer from chronic pancreatitis. I wanna start off by saying its unfortunate about your baby. Your so strong for going through so much. God has blessed you in many ways. My story is kinda likes yours, I've had pancreatitis since 7, you have your ups and downs. Treasure the good when you can. I'm sure anyone in this group can tell you that. I also had my Gall Bladder out thinking thats what would end my night mares. Boy was I wrong I had something else coming at me! Oh before I forget to tell you this. I hope your Doctors have informed you that taking the risk of ERCPs can cause Pancreatitis. That might be why your having ICKYFIED days lol thats what I call them. I'm one of the few that has had a Total Pancreatectomy and auto islet cell transplant. I will say I went in praying this was the end of my horrific pancreatic moments, but I still have problems. Starting off by saying I've had other surgeries. I don't regret having the surgery, no more pancreas pain, but now. Well lovely now, I'm on 16 milligrams of Dilaudid every 6 hrs. Those of you know what Dilaudid is, knows thats a SHIT LOAD of medicine to be on for 16, or anyone at that. I have spleen problems now and they keep a close eye on my liver functions. I have pain under my left rib cage. And my right side going down my scar. Why? Id like to know just as well as the rest of you. They don't know why. Between and I we do nothing but fight. I'm sure you all know who also had the surgery from BOSTON. Were close friends. He's also having problems after the surgery now as well. Its hard going for a surgery you don't know the outcome of. But now its scary to live with pain you don't even know what it is. But I'm a fighter and I don't give up. So my advice to you is stay strong and don't give up. Your better then this disease, don't let it beat you. As for those stones you tell them as hard as they fight they aren't going to win you over lol as funny as that might be. But you have to pray to God he will get you through this. I pray he sends you an angel like the angel that holds dear to your heart.
