Have them check your parathyroid

I have a cure for it! My doctor took my pancreas out and I am not a diabetic and I have no more pancreatitis. I have it since I was 2 until I was 15

Wow, I thought I was too young. I wish you the best and I hope that the attacks or few and far in between.

Look up the story I sent to rdefined. I know more then most about this illness. The first thing is no matter how much pain you think your husband is in when he gets a flair up it worse. You cannot imagine the pain. I have had natural childbirth, a root canal without any pain medication, and kidney stones. I would choose to have all 3 of them at the same time, then to go through another attack. After 5 years of sobriety I only have one question? How is his liver? So often doctors make the mistake of blaming a drinker for every medical problem that comes up. Its the shortest distance between 2 points. My X-husband is an Emergency Trauma physician.

My boyfriend of 12 years is a specialist in Gastrointerology. I am a former medical librarian. So if you have any fears or questions, Please feel free to ask. Chronic pancreatitis is a long road to travel. How far has he traveled this road. Is he a diabetic yet? Is his pancreas calcified? I would really like to help you , It helps me.



Please write back and read the story I posted for rdefined.

Incidentally, have you been out of the country or out west in the past few months, or year. The scorpion spider will also cause pancreatitis.



That it how mine had first shown up. And yes I did drink because no one told me it would further damage it. But; I did not drink before my first attack from 2 spiders. There are also certain toxins that can cause this. If your husbands liver is clean. He probably did not get it from drinking. It dosen't work that way.



Have to go



Please write back!

my husband was just diagnosed w/chronic pancreatitis today and we are very unsure of what he will be facing in the future. he used to drink alot but has been sober for the last 5 years. pls help with any info possible

Another thing when I have flair ups I want to rip out my pancrease with my teeth.

Wow! You have a right to know all of your options. You may have a blocked pancreatic duct. Your too young for drinking as a cause. I have it as well. I am 48 yrs. old. I did not drink long enough to have caused pancreatitis. mine is chronic. I sought out the best doctors available. cromozone 7 is damaged, due to a genetics. Don't get scared. is some cases it is cancer. But the hospital would have found it out already. At your age sometimes the Pancrease will just swell up for no apparent reason. What does your MRI show? Mine as was told to me looks like shredded wheat. I only have 10% working or less. There is not a lot that I don't know about the pancrease. Be very careful if they decide to operate. There will be a whole new set of problems. And if you think the pain is bad now, wait until they operate. How are they able to diagnose "chronic pancreatitis at your age? Perhaps you are just going through an acute episode. Keep my name is you have any questions. My boyfriend is a gastoenterologist. If i don't know it I'll ask him. Please

remember to put pressure on the areas that are the most painful. It helps.

I really feel for you... The first time I was actually diagnosed with pancreatitis was when I was 15, but I had symptoms of it long before that. I had my gal bladder removed a few months later. After 3 more years of Dr. Visits, surgeries hospitals stays and visits to the ER at least once a month I finally said enough was enough. The procedures just seemed to be making it worse. I went to my friend who is the CEO/Dr. of a company called "NutraNomics". Herbel suppliments. He did a blood test and gave me some organic pills to take and within weeks I was feeling better.



I haven't taken any in a few months and I am starting to see symptoms again/stress.
