Anyone else had PANCREATITIS ??
| Wed, 03-16-2005 - 10:52pm |
Hi Everyone, Need some advise, support, and someone else to talk to bout this casue im kinda scared. Its pretty late at night and as usual I cant sleep caues of the pain. Little bout my problem: Ive been having stomach pain since last August. In recent weeks its been very severe with pain in my back. I cant lay down, it hurts to sit up in a chair and lean back. Its pretty bad right now. Not even the pain meds the dr gave me today is helping much. Ive been through a battery of tests and my arms are all brused up from bloodtests & IV's. Had a CAT scan done yesturday , went back to stomach dr today and he said there was something wrong with my pancreas. He is sending me to John Hopkins for more tests and to talk to a sergeon. I couldnt get confertable in bed so I got up to do some research and im scared. Course I shouldnt worry bout the worst things possible until I talk to the next Dr and find out exactly whats going on, but thats easier said than done. Specailly when I read that there could be hospitalization involved. Maybe permanite damage to my pancreas. Id love to hear from anyone who has been through this. Im off to bed once again to try to sleep. Thanks for listening!
