Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 Hi Mike - I'm new too. I'm here because of my 54-year-old husband who has pancreatitis. We thought we got the run-around a little bit at the local hospital, but they're weren't too bad compared to some stories I read. They did send him home without weaning him off morphine and only prescribed Hydrocodone. He had a solid week of severe withdrawal. But now he's hooked up with Duke University (NC) and I can't say enough nice things about his treatment and especially his Dr. Pappas. Right now he's post hospital 3 weeks and is on TPN (tube feeding). The main problem is he's still losing weight. My main point is you need to find a better doctor, most likely. Where are you located? Someone in the group may be close to you and can refer you to a doctor who knows what's what with chronic pancreatitis. Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
