| Pancreas inflamed... Last night was awful. I was in absolute fucking agony with my gut for 8 hours or more. In the end it was a trip to the Emergency Services where the late night Doctor told me how the liver seemed o.k. and my pancreas was inflamed.
He gave me a few options - stay in Hospital for further analysis or take painkillers and go home with a follow up appointment with my local GP. So, like I opted for the codeine and bed rest at home.
After doing some research on the pancreas it seems I could have either chronic or acute pancreanitus. (sp)
But, these hours long attacks of severe pain are usually brought on by fruit and vegetables. This is a diet I recently adhered to lose some weight as I lift weights and exercise and also I heard fruit and veg is good diet for an ulcer, which I was diagnosed with last year.
But, I really do not know what to think. For instance, my left lung has had some pretty bad pain for several months now and also after smoking some rotten cigarettes a few months ago I have this flavour of the cigarettes coming from my lungs even though its been two months since I quit smoking. I think my lungs have a fungus infection.
Also, I hear the pancreas can cause heart failure, kidney failure, and lung failure. This was not the news I wanted to be reading this morning.
Ah vell, life goes on and its business as usual after receiving some orders that need shipping out I get on with that feeling a little tender after my stomach feeling likes its tearing itself a hole.
Anyone know any information on the pancreas and the treatment?
I know a few months back the Doctor was worried about my liver and so I stopped drinking but I had drunk the occasional glass of wine causing my pancreas (which I thought was my liver) to feel swollen and uncomfortable to lay prostrate on the left side.
Gosh, I feel like my time is near now I am reaching 30! |
