Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Patty, What a great doc you daughter must have. It sure is nice to be a private room when your in for an attack of Pancreatitis. I know what you mean about the smell of food making the whole digestive part start. I get very nauseated from the smell of food or drink, especially coffee, when I'm having an attack. I have to request a private room then sign my life away saying I'll pay the difference to get it. At the hospital I usually go to there is no problem getting on, because about 1/2 of all the rooms are private. the other hospital has only 4 private rooms on each floor and you almost have to be related to the hospital administrator to get one, so I usually don't go there for that reason. My husband wants me to get a private room, because he knows I need my rest and don't need allot of people parading in when I'm that sick. Even my gastro doc tries to feed me when I in the hospital. You would think they would know better than that, you need time for it to settle down. I do have more luck on the food issue and nothing by mouth from my PCP. That is at least one thing he does right. You are lucky also to have her admitted when her pain level is only a 5 out of a 10. I lucky to be admitted when my is a 8 or 9 out of a 10. I have been given a pain and nausea shot with pain that high and then sent home only to have it come back again. You are truly lucky to have good doctors in Maine. Take Care Louie in WV Re: Re: New to this group again i will remind people that in Maine you have a patient bill of rights which includes your right to be pain free. Check it out in your state. Also doctor's hate it when you remind them of their hipocratic oath...DO NO HARM. There are alot of synthetic pain killers. your just gonna have to keep trying but this should be done under medical supervision so they can react to any reaction you may have. also are you keeping your self hydrated. my daughter does not like to drink or eat when pain is at its worst, also dr says nothing by mouth including water because it starts her whole digestive process. she is always admitted once her pain level has hit about 5 on a scale to 10. She is also always admitted to a private room because just smelling food starts digestion. i pray for every one that your days will be pain free patty bangor, me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
