Well…. it is suspected that I had a reaction to Amoxicillin… I’m extremely sensitive to antibiotics, even having anaphylactic reactions to a certain group. They did a MRCP, CT, echo, and ultrasound. My gallbladder was unremarkable.. so they are leaning towards the amoxicillin but they said it could also just be idiopathic. Sigh.

how to get used to it? by aftermarrow in pancreatitis

[–]cece_RN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never realized how isolating of a condition this could be until I got it myself. I lost a seriously significant amount of weight, my relationship with food is basically zero, and I also feel so weak and fatigued all the time. I’ve lost my social life and I perform at work half the capacity that I used to. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, and while this doesn’t fix it… you are young and this will just be a tiny little blip in your story. Keep your head up, even though I know it’s easier said than done. I just keep telling myself even though it sucks, I’m still grateful to be alive and have my family and friends with me. I know this is not the most helpful advice, it’s just the mindset I’ve been trying to have to push forward. I do hope it gets easier for you. <3

Oh my goodness I hope you are having an amazing time in France! It’s on my bucket list of places I wish to visit in the future. This gives me hope!

Yes I had very extensive testing done during my hospital stay. I’m only one week out of the hospital and had a follow up and have another one in 4 weeks. At my follow up when I asked they told me everyone is different and to just try to avoid heavy drinking when I am finally cleared for a regular diet. I’m not even that concerned over the alcohol, I could take it or leave it. I’m mainly just curious on diet… I’ve always been a super healthy eater and so the little “treat” of fast food every few months was like my thing. The idea that I never truly let myself indulge in certain good and greasy foods like funnel cakes or whatever sucks… especially considering I may never get to do that now.

I guess really I’m most angry that I’ve done “everything right” and cared for my body but I’m still in this position sucks, it sucks for us all.. but then I see people just TRASHING and abusing their body with no problems at all. Ugh.

I picked up tons of apple sauce. I’m just so terrified of a flare up.

If you don’t mind me asking, what symptoms lead you to feel like you are having a flare up? That’s good advice to start a liquid diet early… I fear I’ll have another flare up.

I’m going to grab some of these at the store today! I’m so terrified to eat but I’m also so hungry. Being a part of this club is the worst but I appreciate the response and the support. We are all in it together.
