I had a portion of my pancreas removed
(due to enlarging benign tumor) just over
a year ago. Recovery was ups and downs
but continued to get better, feel fully
recovered. However, I have continued to
need a lot of water, urinate frequently,
and am extremely unfunctional (feel like
my brain just doesn't work, can't
focus/concentrate/converse properly) if I
dont get enough sleep; also occurs (though
more minorly) when I don't eat healthy
enough (am generally very healthy) or get
enough exercise. Also, for the past 5
months, I get mild to severe yeast
infections every month.
Now, within the past week or so, i've been
having pain in my upper right quadrant.
Not extreme, more achey and extremely
annoying--have wanted to put pressure on
it, though it doesn't really help. My
urine has been very dark for at least the
same amount of time, perhaps longer. Had
a severe bout of diarrhea for about 12
hours yesterday--a first--and my stomach
still seems queezy.
Also been having (for quite a few months)
a tenderness that moves around my right
ribcage. Sometimes very tender to the
touch, sometimes just achey & want to
massage it, though it doesn't bring much
relief. It moves around my entire rib
cage.
In looking into these things, they seem
like the could possibly be different
things. Gallstones are hereditary in my
family & sybling & mother had
gallbladders removed in the past year. I
recently lost my health insurance (and am
the process of trying to get another) so
i'm trying to find ways to identify what
it is and ways to control them (been
trying to get into yoga & perhaps use
natural methods, though not quite familiar
enough yet).
Any thoughts extremely appreciated.

I have been diabetic for ten years or more
and I controlled my b.S.L.'s with
medication,eighteen months ago I had an
operation to drain a cyst on my pancreas.
Since the op. My b.S.L.'s went sky high
and have been on insulin injections for
the past year, I seem to be controlled now
but can never be sure as I occasionally
have high readings. :roll:take care jimmy

Another Note... Posted: 01-21-06 18:42pm
(note about my original post)
i haven't been diagnosed w/diabetes, but
have been informed that I should be aware
of how i'm feeling after my surgery a year
ago. Has anybody else had any of these
symptoms?

It sounds like diabetes to me get a blood
sugar monitor and check your sugar first
thing in the morning before and after
meals.The pain in the abdomen could be a
sign of ketoacidosis but the the blood
sugars will tell all.
