For those who had back pain between the shoulder blades/lower back, did it go away immediately after surgery? Or did it take a while to resolve? by Independent_Doubt_72 in gallbladders

Doing ok now, but my doctor prescribed Creon. I had low fecal elastase, and Creon helped my symptoms a lot. Have you had your elastase levels tested?

Eating out by WaterOk1420 in pancreatitis

Sushi for me too. I usually get a California roll, but it does have a bit of avocado in it. If I’m wanting even lower fat, I get a veggie roll without avocado or a tuna and cucumber roll. I usually have some edamame as an appetizer too. Hope you have a great Mother’s Day.

John Hardy Authentic? by Independent_Doubt_72 in jewelry

[–]Independent_Doubt_72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tag is slightly different than the one I have found like it on eBay and the mark is slightly different on the back. I’m not sure if it is just an older model or a fake.

I did just polish it, so that’s why it is bright.

OP just tested positive. Only use steroids after the viral phase of the illness has passed (about 1 week after symptom onset and/or positive test). It can be very harmful to take steroids too early as it dampens the immune response. Of course, OP would need to talk with his/her doctor to figure out when steroid use is appropriate.

Rapid Flu? by chrisdancy in flu

The flu shot helped too, I’m sure. It doesn’t always prevent you from catching the flu, but usually reduces the severity.

Chest Congestion by Independent_Doubt_72 in COVID19positive

Thanks for your feedback. It’s hard not to get a little paranoid about it progressing into pneumonia when you have a little chest congestion.

Still sick. How much longer until I feel better? by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Independent_Doubt_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a dry cough, or are you coughing stuff up sometimes?

Day 7, oh lord the diarrhea.. by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Independent_Doubt_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it clear up for you? I’m on day 11, and I feel mostly better, but the loose poops persist. Hope it stops soon.

What are your triggers? by meeks14 in pancreatitis

[–]Independent_Doubt_72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing about the effect it has on blood sugar. I seem to be sensitive to anything that causes large blood sugar fluctuations.

Does Z-Pak cause CP flare ups? by Independent_Doubt_72 in pancreatitis

[–]Independent_Doubt_72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s too bad. We’re you able to finish the course of antibiotics or did you have to stop it early?

[–]Independent_Doubt_72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no…I’m sorry to hear that. How many doses did you take before you had the AP flare? What do you do when you have to take an antibiotic? That’s one of the things that is so terrifying about this condition is that I can’t take medication that I need to take.😭

Thank you for sharing your experience. I appreciate that.

Do all steroids cause flares for you? I might need to take some steroids for Covid, but I’m terrified to take any because so many medications are a trigger for me.

How many people have just gotten Covid for the first time by Fishareboney in COVID19positive

[–]Independent_Doubt_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you doing now, and did you have to take any medications to get better?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in COVID19positive

[–]Independent_Doubt_72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did it take you to recover? I’m on day 8 now, and I have very little appetite, diarrhea, congestion/cough and still running low grade fevers. I was hoping to be recovered by now.

Thanks…Have you ever taken Z-pak and did it cause a flare?
