    I'm so sorry for anyone who is suffering with this.. I have only recently learned about it and got myself checked out due to pain I was having.. I seem to be fine but seeing people's stories on here I just want you all to know that I hope you feel better and get relief :(
  • The worst thing about chronic pancreatitis besides the PAIN is people thinking you're faking because they only see you when you're having a good day.
  • It hurts like nothing else. I got 5 shots with fentanyl in the ambulance and it didn't help at all. I would prefer to have my leg ripped off instead of having pancreatitis again... Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it.
  • I had my pancreas removed in 2012 because of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis at Johns Hopkins. I was the ninth person there to have their pancreas removed and islet cells harvested from my pancreas. The doctor placed my islet cells in my liver and I am still not a type 1 diabetic. Dr. Makary was totally awesome!

    Mine started after being on Wegovy for 7 months. Lost 50 pounds but definitely not worth it with this pain. I knew the risks but ignored them. I’m learning what to eat/not to eat as I go. High content fatty foods are a definite no-no, pain lasts for up to 15-20 hours. Good luck to all who suffer from this
  • I just got out of the hospital about three days ago after a nasty pancreatitis attack. This vid was very helpful. I have a lot to learn. I'm looking for more info. Thank you.

    This is the best video I’ve ever seen about pancreatitis.

    My pancreatitus is caused by opioid drugs which send the sphincter of Oddi into spasm. Still very painful and resulted in hospitalisation.
