Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 I'm sorry but I don't know your name. Your story sounds pretty familiar though, not that it will help you much. I was diagnosed with CP a couple months ago, even though this was my fourth attack over the course of twelve years. I've been through five doctors trying to figure out what was wrong with me, but have had pretty poor luck. Seems like the doctors that I've dealt with have not been terribly bright either. But, like Kimber said, it's tough to diagnose and unfortunately, it seems to be the last thing they look for... I don't know why in the hell that is, but then I guess I'm more than a little biased. My first attack was twelve years ago, and I've been having pain regularly since then... and of course it's gotten progressively worse until just recently I have had to start taking pain medication every day - all day - and even with the help of narcotics, I am still unable to sleep, until I literally just end up falling down wherever I am... which happened to me today at a friend's house, which was really embarrassing. I was helping move furniture when I sat on the sofa when folks were taking a break... woke up ninety minutes later, and the room was empty, except for the sofa and me. Everyone was gone. Of course it's funny now, but I was pretty disgusted at the time... disgusted with myself, this disease, my sleeplessness that even heavy sleep aids don't help, the pain that makes me take narcotics, the constant back, stomach and bowel problems, and nobody really understands - about the sleeping problem or anything else, of course - except for the folks on this list. At least most folks can relate to most of the things I've been through, and if they've not been through it themselves, they tend to at least be sympathetic and supportive. That, or they make fun of me. (Haha... Okay... that part was a joke.) My family all knows that I have diabetes, chronic pancreatitis as well as acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis. They don't understand it, so we don't ever talk about it. So I've never seen a point in making them aware that I also suffered from chronic cystitis of the gall bladder for several years before I finally had my gall bladder removed - had hiatal hernia repair, or suffered from esophageal hemorrhaging, esophageal verices, high blood pressure, chronic depression, OCD, PTSD, chronic anxiety disorder, agrophobia, agoraphobia, panic attacks, alcoholic neuropathy... They just know that I'm sick again, just like I've been regularly over the past several years... they assume that I'll have surgery of some kind, or take the right kind of medication to get better. How do you tell your mother that you will probably die long before she will, when you're the baby of the family, and her favorite... or even when you're NOT either of those things? I don't know. Maybe somebody can tell me. They know there are lots of medicine bottles in my kitchen cabinet, but they have not idea how many there really are. They don't know that each day, several times a day in most cases, I take Verapamil, Oxazapam, Norvasc, Catapres patch, Fentanyl patch, Nadalol, Efffexor, Triazolam, Pancrease, Questran, Neurontin, Lorazapam, Prevacid, Famotadine, Oxycontin, and two kinds of insulin. They still assume that I'm the healthy, muscular, indestructible jock that I've always been. (Now I just wear baggy clothes a lot. I'd be in big trouble without oversized sweatshirts.) So obviously as you can see I too feel sorry for myself a lot, and get really overwhelmed much of the time, and often say to myself " What's the use? " . But what's the alternative? As I see it, I don't HAVE any alternatives... so I figure I need to just get off my pity pot and get my ass busy livin'. In " Shawshank Redemption " one of the two main characters told the other that " Either you get busy livin', or you get busy dyin'. " I guess since a part of me is already busy dying, a larger part of me has to stay busy living... and since I don't have much control over my pancreas and the rest of my guts (other than taking the meds they tell me to, diet, etc; it's still going to do what it will), I try to focus on the part of me that I DO have some control over... My emotions, thoughts, feelings and my REACTION to this disease and how I decide to live with it or not. Well, like I said... Many, many days I don't have the energy to do much about it. Thankfully, some days I DO have the energy and the wherewithal to get off my ass and take some action. Go to support or 12-step meetings, prayer meetings, work, exercise / work out, spend time with my cats, spend time with my partner, my grandmother, my family; paint, shop, walk in the park, go to exhibits and shows, theater, galleries, plant trees, shrubs, flowers, mow, weed or trim, work on the outside of the house, clean on the inside, cook, watch some educational TV, hit the library, spend time surfing and catching up with e-mail, spend time at the Plaza, research this disease and spend time on the phone working with the insurance company and the doctor's office trying to figure out what is in front of me that I can do to try to get better... and if Western medicine says that there's nothing immediately before me, then I can get creative and find out what Eastern philosophies suggest that I might do, many of them also very helpful! Meditation, prayer, acupuncture, sand sculpture, work with crystals, etc... Both lists are endless of course, depending on what one's interests and beliefs are, and being a little bit creative helps, but primarily determination and the desire to no longer spend my days sitting in my own crap are the chief motivators. It's hard, it's really, really hard. Anybody who says otherwise is grossly in denial or just flat-out lying to you. I regularly think that I may well be very close to becoming insane, and even think that perhaps it might be welcomed sometimes... I'd have a good reason to yell and scream and fight and kick until I got my own little private padded room with lots of thorazine, or to just give up and lie in bed and not respond to anybody and not eat and make them hook me up to a morphine drip... but of course I know that also comes with " the tube " , the loneliness, the painfully dreary roommates, the pity from family and friends, the looks and headshakes from the nurses and doctors and even the orderlies, etc.; and eventually they kick you out too and you're right back here - only further in the hole financially and otherwise, still sick, still blue, etc., but maybe on a few more medications... so that doesn't seem like a terribly good choice. Looks like my best choice is to plug ahead, try to improve the antidepressants that I'm on until I get a combination that works, get regular exercise and work on giving my body something close to proper nutrition... that list is much smaller than the one above when I look at it, so maybe it's a better choice. Good luck to you... The folks here are very helpful, very knowledgeable and very sympathetic. Ask for help and you'll probably get it. Push your doctors to get the help you need instead of feeling like a " victim " ; I think that helps a lot, to feel like you're taking charge of your life, your body and your disease. And that's about the best we can do... with one foot in front of the other. God bless. Terry in KC Now I'm very confused. This file was open, and I thought I wrote it several weeks ago. So if you've re-read it, please forgive me. My concern is NOT getting posted a note that follows that belongs to toosweet.... toosweet, I don't BELIEVE this is new, correct> SHIT!!! Are you and I both going to to have to RE-add vast recurring brain-fuck to both our diagnosis along with the usual dependent diabetic, chronic dependent diabetic, blah blah blah??? Or am I just further insane?? I mean, I've shut down this machine a dozen times, and it's crashed at least that amount, since this file was open... No explanation why all of a sudden it appeared open, unlss you might you sent it along... Any answers? Gad. Dyin', losin' it all, fallin' apart, goin' insane and NO IDEA HOW OR WHY NOTES APPEAR OR REAPPEAR. SHOOT me now.... Hahaha! Coo-coo! Coo-coo! << how do you deal with all the mental anguish and depression that comes from being sick all the time (insulun dependent diabetic - 10 yrs and resent chronic pancreatitis among other minor things) i swear i'm going compleatly crazy lately i dont know how much more of this i can take...works driving me crazy...got no support at home, i swear they think its all in my head...all the waiting for appointments with so many idiot specialist (took them 8 months to figure out whats wrong with me and i'm still going for more tests)...all the pain...all the pills and needles i gave to take...insanity is setting in ;o( >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 I was still wondering....has anyone had experience like I have? I had the first attack in June of this year. I have had 7 or 8 after that. I had gall bladder taken out in July. Had 2 subsequent attacks after that, with horrible diarrhea and bleeding. Afterwards, I got a new gi doc in September. He said it could take me a year to recover from the pancreatitis. All the tests come back negative, the levels and enzymes and blood counts are all normal. Then I started having diarrhea every 2 weeks or so, up to the point on October 14 where it hit me non-stop for 3 weeks straight. It was coming every 15 minutes to 3 hours. Worse at night, especially if I laid on my right side. More tests: endoscopy showed excessive bile in stomach, no reason. Barium exrays of small intestine showed nothing...still having diarrhea, am on levsinex and lomotil, off the pancreas enzymes, and living on darvacet. can eat bread, potatoes, non fat creamer with non fat cereal, egg beaters, juice, that's about it. Intense chronic pain... Any suggestions? Hints? Experiences? HELP thanks. Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Rose - hang in there. I know the future doesn't look to bright right now but take it from the experts in this group that live with this stuff and have lived with it for years and even decades - it is possible to regain much of your life without diapers or other extremes. Talk to your doctor and if he won't help have him get you to someone who will. Let us know where you live and there is probably someone who can point you in the right direction for a doctor who is willing to work with you. You might also talk to the doctor about antidepressants as well as enzymes, pain control and bowel control medications - and sooner rather than later because it sounds like depression is getting a really good hold on you and can lead you to places you don't want to be. I can also sympathize with being hungry all the time - I am one of the lucky ones who can still eat an almost normal diet but unless I eat at regular intervals I find myself overeating and then having to pay for it in the pain department. You said you were already a diabetic so you already understand the need for a strictly regimented diet - now you just need to find out what your system can handle (unfortunately this has to be done by trial and error) but start at the no fat end of the spectrum and go from there. You haven't mentioned being hospitalized and if you have not been then the ER should be your first stop - getting your pain under control goes first and foremost in order for the rest to follow. Anyway - I have now gone on for some time but I hope some of this has helped in some small way. Just know your are not alone and support is just an e-mail or phone call or whatever away.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 For the past several days, I've been awakened by extreme nausea in the wee hours of the morning. I have to sit up to try to stop it. And I've bumped up my dosage of Zofran. My right upper quadrant pain has returned, but at a low level. Most frightening is the fact that when and if I eat, I feel really lousy. I've been spending a great deal of time in the house during these gloriously warm days. I have no get up and go. I'm very concerned that the recent surgery with all of the moving of my abdominal organs might have disturbed my pancreas. I've got a call into my GI guy with whom I am no playing telephone tag. I've also asked my hematologist to check my B12 blood level. Pancreatitis has caused malabsorption of that from time to time. -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 Crying is good. I've wanted to do that since the surgery. For whatever reason(s), I haven't yet been able to. Let's just have a pity party! I'll bring the Kleenex!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
