Am I abnormal? *L*

[Guest guest]

Hi,

After reading many many posts, most if not everyone seems to have

their attacks due to food. I have told all the doctors that I have

ever seen for this, that all of my attacks have started on an empty

stomach..if I ever feel hungry, or empty inside, whammo, the pain

will hit me like a ton of bricks. Then when an attack is in

progress, if I drink or eat anything, it skyrockets even more. The

doctors always tell me pancreatitis only happens when people have

been eating, but with me that is not the case...

They found that my pancreatic duct was closed at the papilla due to

scar tissue from a surgery to correct my pancreatitis and remove a

polyp there, and this has been the cause of my attacks, but even

with a stent in place, (upside down so it won't fall out like a

temporary one), I still have attacks, although not as severe as they

have been before the stent. I also find that if I drink any kind of

soda, whoaaa..it puts my pancreas into spasms and can also bring on

an attack..is this a normal thing? it only started doing this with

drink about 12 months ago, the same with taking tablets..if a tablet

is say a bit bigger than the usual capsule size, it can have me

rolling on the floor in agony a minute after taking it..so maybe I

am abnormal..which wouldn't surprise me *laugh*
