In my early post I answered your question about the meds. As for whether it's

pain or nausea that gets me, I'd definitely have to vote for pain. I don't ever

get nausea anymore unless it's right before an acute attack. If I'm nausiated,

I

know it's time to head to the hospital. I used to be nausiated all the time

BEFORE I was diagnosed and the pseudocysts were discovered. Then as

soon as I started on enzyme supplements 3 + years ago, all the nausea

disappeared....thank heavens!

Re the lost weight and inability to gain. I've lost 30 pounds twice with this

disease. First time it took a year to gain 20 pounds of it back. The second

time I lost 30 pounds in only 2 months, dropping from 128 all the way down to

98 lbs. At 5'8 " , it made me look like a refugee from Etheopia! It's taken me

19

months to get back up to 124, and I seem to have leveled off at that weight.

MCT Fish Oil capsules seem to have been one of the most significant aids

inthe weight gain, I take 1,000-2,000 mgs. each day.

With love, hope and prayers,
