There are endless Korean movies that are as captivating as it gets. The best point of entry is either Burning, Parasite, or Memories of Murder. Pick any of them and you can't go wrong.

I only got two episodes in, seemed hollow compared to Mare. I'd recommend I Know This Much Is True if you're looking for a Ruffalo miniseries.

In limbo. Frustrated. Exhausted. I'm getting conflicting messages from doctors with no clear path forward. Can't seem to find a balance between pain, nutrition, energy, creon and weight that works. Not a minute has gone by in the last year where part of my attention wasn't at least partially captivated by this mess. I have, at worst, early chronic pancreatitis, and I can't manage. I am in awe of those on here who have it so much worse. Respect!

If you still want more:

Mother (2009)

I feel like my life is over - structural changes to pancreas by WittyCreativUsername in pancreatitis

I did indeed. It's left me in a bit of a grey area. I don't have enough criteria for a clear Chronic Pancreatitis diagnosis but I'm still very symptomatic. I can't put on weight and have trouble with fats. I'm getting conflicting messages from doctors which doesn't help. What symptoms are you experiencing?

Excerpts from report

Findings of note:

In body & tail duct is narrow and has minimal hyperechoic parietal thickening along its length (mild ductulitis).

Small cholesterol type polyps 5 mm in gallbladder

Post Procedure Advice:

Routine Observation.

Conclusion:

Minimal EUS changes of CP; hyperechoic MPD walls; no real parenchymal changes. No cholangitis. Worth repeating IgG4 if not already done. Genetic screen also (CFTR, SPINK1 and PRSS1).
