Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I had my Whipple done the last week in July. I still have pains and feel very sick to my stomach. I know part of it is that my Dr.'s wantet me to start detox asap. The detox is doing it's thing, but I have questions for those that have had the whipple. I am running fevers all the time. I always was a low grade, but today I made it to 101.0. I feel nervous about this. The other thing is that I woke up in the most powerful pancreatitc pain that I ever felt. last night.It scared me. I took a large deep breathe, hit my PCA pump and prayed everything would calm down. It did,but I am stuck with this fever. Has anyone who had the whipple had these same sort of problems after having this surgery? I want to get off all these meds and start a life, but it always seems like there are so many obstacles that are in my way to get better. warm regards Paget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I developed a Chronic Panc. attack that was the worst one I have had in over a year. I got through it about 4am (that's when I had consumed enough codeine to get ahead of the pain) The today I have developed a high grade fever, 4 degrees + above normal. Sometimes I get about 1/2 a degree but never one that high. While I've been trying to work with it, not much of what I do seems to have a lasting effect. Another funny thing is no other symptoms, no rash, throat irritation, just this persistent fever (and of course all that goes with such a fever). Oh well, I hope I feel better tomorrow, but it looks like another long night ahead. Have I mentioned that I hate this disease? Best Wishes, Poncho - GA PS To all of those headed for the symposium this week, I wish you all safe and happy trips, a great fellowship time, and a wealth of shared information. Please be careful out there. Poncho - GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
