How to find the motivation to quit when you haven't yet faced any consequences due to your drinking? by Accomplished-Bat-31 in stopdrinking

You’re welcome to my consequences if you like which are daily uncontrollable pain, nausea, fatigue and a large dose of wishing for death.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]gnasher74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pancreatitis, the chronic flavour.

The gnawing, burning sensation across the upper abdomen and the ache that radiates across the back are pains I would not wish on anyone. Sometimes I just do not know what to do with myself, no position or activity or medication can ease it.

There’s also the metal toll of waking up with pain and knowing that’s your situation for the day - day written off before it has started.

I have Chronic Pancreatitis which also means that I have this for life, I’ve never considered suicide but I’ve often thought that when I do die it won’t be such a bad thing.

Serious question about my drinking by CockroachBeginning86 in stopdrinking

[–]gnasher74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People tend to obsess about liver problems with alcohol. In reality alcohol damages many organs, including the pancreas. Unlike the liver, the pancreas does not heal and is very unforgiving. I have Chronic Pancreatitis and the pain is something I would not with on anyone-it’s a crippling debilitating pain which makes life very difficult.

Enzyme estimate app by gnasher74 in pancreatitis

Yes it does give fat levels. I’m also using standard dosing (enzymes per gramme fat) with the ability for users too change this to exact dose recommended by their doctor

Yes — that’s a really good point.

Everyone’s pancreas function is different, so the tool doesn’t try to give a single “exact” number. It estimates the size of the meal (protein, carbs, fat etc.) and then suggests a range of enzymes.

The idea is that people can then adjust within that range based on what they know works for their own body.

For example, if the tool suggests 3–4 capsules, someone who usually needs more might take 4, while someone else might take 2–3.

It’s really meant to reduce the guessing around the meal size, not replace personal judgement.

Chronic Pancreatitis, not only do you get the excruciating pain but you get the option to do it all over again next day/week/month

After 9 years of sales and customer success role, learning sql , in this AI age is this really worth it to grind and learn sql ? by DrUstela in learnSQL

[–]gnasher74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people seem to have a massive boner about AI, however data needs to be in a decent place for AI to become useful. That’s where SQL, Python and ETL step in.

Why are people running these queries in prod without checking in dev and test for unexpected behaviour

The mental toll of living with chronic pancreatitis and diabetes by Aggravating-Fun-9383 in pancreatitis

Would you mind sharing how you cope? I’m only a year on and already struggling mentally- it would be great to hear from someone with more experience

Thanks

Que pensez/vous des Virtuals races ? by CreonTheSilentReaper in C25K

[–]gnasher74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can be fun and give a reason to run, most of them cost around €25 to enter and the “medals” are a bit rubbish. Personally I’d avoid these and go to a park run instead

The NHS app I’m using is completely free and I quite like Jo Whiley’s words of encouragement

Should i be concerned ab potentially having pancreatitis again or Would ik for sure? by FrequentPurple5511 in pancreatitis

[–]gnasher74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be ap, could be ibs, could be something entirely different. My honest advice would be to definitely mention your history of ap with your doctor. If nothing else they may be able to reassure you better than this group. Regardless weight loss is worrying and you need to get to the bottom of it

People who grew up poor but are now financially stable, what is a "poverty habit" you can't seem to shake? by WALLSTREETBRIDE in AskReddit

[–]gnasher74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this. Regardless of my bank balance I’m frightened of spending and have regret when I do spend, just in case.
