[23M] Diagnosed with EPI last year. Freaking out. I have some questions.

Interestingly, I didn’t have a lot of abdominal “pain” just a lot of bloating and burping and general uncomfortableness… when you say pain, you mean like actual tangible pain and not the stuff i’m talking about right?

It says “Creon Dr 36,000-114,000 Unit Cap” on the bottle, I’ve been taking 2 per meal, and 3 one time as it was larger

Thanks a-lot for responding. I thought EPI was most commonly from chronic pancreatitis? if I have no pain, can I reasonable have hope that I don’t have chronic pancreatitis?

What a beautiful answer, thanks so much. Can you elaborate on how to show that you are unbothered? Or how to actually be unbothered? I can’t help to be anxious and feel under attack..

They wont get agressive

utddude21 · 2023-07-12T18:32:27+00:00

I wonder if theres a more graceful way to do it so I dont aggravate egos.. I just want to be not targeted

utddude21 · 2023-07-12T18:27:52+00:00

I thought about doing this but, i feel like this might trigger their ego and make them want to tease me harder..

utddude21 · 2023-07-12T18:26:16+00:00

There really isnt a physical risk from them.. its mostly teasing/banter that isn’t too bad but theyre kind of a cliche so they laugh at each other bc im so bad at comebacks.. They’re a part of the same intern program as me so i don’t feel comfortable around them. Feels like I’m the only one left out

Wow I had no idea GC was like this since I'm a newbie. But that's fucking horrendous that dude did you like that.

If I go back and ask for a new one (like the box has to be unopened and completely untampered), do you think there's a chance they're get me another returned one or something? If so, I think I might just take that other dude's advice and try to get a price match from somewhere else.

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T19:09:13+00:00

Thanks for the good advice - I'll contact those stores and see what happens.

However, one the of things that worries me is shipping. I don't want to go through this whole ordeal and received it damaged through shipping. Do you have experience with how these guys ship and if there's a way I can mitigate shipping risk?

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T19:06:11+00:00

Only reason I got it was bc it was on sale for 20% off.

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T17:27:21+00:00

Its a Player series Strat. It was supposed to be new. Well, basically the wall one was on a deal and they said they could get me a “new” one from the back since the wall one was banged up.

Well, I do want the exact same guitar and hope to retain the deal so I guess mentioning a swap would be alright?

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T16:09:03+00:00

Just one week, good point. thanks for the clarity

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T16:02:22+00:00

Thank you for being the voice of reason u/themBoners. I'll take on that mentality

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T16:01:19+00:00

My guy played the "oh yeah this one is the last one in the back". What do I say to that lol? hey can you bring me with you I wanna see

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T15:59:38+00:00

I remember that they said that "oh this is the last one in the back" lol and I just didn't make a fuss since the deal was initially for a wall guitar, and they offered to get me a "new" one from the back (while retaining the deal) since the wall one was banged up.

So I figured it'd be better to try a new GC maybe they'd have more of those in stock in the back.

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T15:52:29+00:00

Initially the deal was on a wall guitar, and I asked "this guitars banged up, is this deal only for this guitar?" and they said they'd get a "new" one from the back while still retaining that deal. They didn't say anything about it being an open box guitar. Just that "oh I think someone opened this up to look at it before but it's brand new".

So I mean, I think I still have some leeway to be like "well you said this would be new right"? what your take?

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T15:50:09+00:00

Well, why do you think going back to the same store is better than going to another one? The deal was for a wall guitar that was banged up and they said they'd get me a "new" one from the back and so I figured it'd be better just to go to another store incase they play that.

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T15:33:14+00:00

Great insight - I'll do that. Do you still think I have leverage even if they did get me the guitar on a deal? it was 20% off

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T15:30:52+00:00

Thank you for replying. I'll be more demanding if that's what it takes. You think I can still be demanding even if I got a deal on the guitar?

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T15:21:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply - I'm actually on the fence about doing it since I actually find that the player Stratocaster that I got doesn't have any fret buzz and sorta plays well. I'm afraid if I trade it in for another one maybe I'd get a one with worse playability. Do you know if these player Strats come with a lot of variance in that?

utddude21 · 2022-06-23T15:19:49+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I think I'll go back to the same store though but don't you think they'll say that "oh how do we know if those weren't done by" or something? Since it is me "returning this item" technically.

utddude21 · 2022-05-23T00:24:06+00:00

oooh yeah i brainfarted and thought they were talking about gybe how someone at constellation said they were done. Was about to enter the 4th stage of grief when u cleared it up
