Re: Questions from Memphis (SOD - experience from Bert)

Bert,

Thank you for answering, I know I posted a terribly long post.

The diagnosis of pancreatitis makes more sense to me than a heart problem

although given a choice I don't know that I wouldn't stick with the heart

problem, I am really discouraged by the thought this might not be something

that even has a fix much less one that can be found.

I am more encouraged by the thought that the sphincterotomy could be done

under general anesthesia. I am getting into more and more pain as the

weekend progresses and I know it is just the stress of being afraid of

another endoscopic procedure. I am trying to stay busy and keep my mind off

of it but...

I am beginning to pay attention, after reading the posts here, to how much

stress and diet have got to do with my pain. I still don't understand why I

can eat something one time and do fine and another will knock me down.

One more question if I may,

do you have something that feels like, for want of a better description, you

have been hit with a wave of extreme fatigue? Like you just can't go one

more step? My PC doc says she thinks this is just from working the night

shift but I have worked nights 25 years and never had fatigue hit like that.

I am sorry to hear you are having such a rough time right now, I hope things

turn around for you starting right now.

Again, thanks for listening and sharing, I feel lots better now.

Shelia
