Pancreatitis is not very good news, but at
least this may help you to know that you
aren't "crazy". I reccommend you find a
specialist for the pancreatitis and then
find a good counselor or therapist who can
provide you with adequate medication for
the anxiety. I have a similar story to
your's, and my pain attacks increase
monumentally with stress.
Is it chronic pancreatitis, or acute?
Please continue to post here for more ino.
you are most definitely not alone.

I have not had pancreatitis, but i have
something similar, and the pain is just
incredible. I hope they are helping to
manage your pain effectively. There are
dietary adjustments you can make to help
with this. Try avoiding fatty foods,
alcohol, and caffeine (not much fun!
). Are they treating you for this? How
are you doing? Can you ask for medication
for the anxiety?

Hi, well I typed up a whole response and
it got deleted when I tried to post it, so
uuugggh. So to sum it up I said I am also
young, 20, and I have the same feeling of
why the flip is this happening because I
am young and shouldn't have to deal with
this at all. I am having gallbladder
symptoms with pain and nausea and etc.
And until today I didn't know what the
problem was, and my feeling like crap goes
back to February. I have and do feel a lot
of anxiety due to feeling crappy and not
knowing what all is wrong with me, and I
even share your feeling of not being able
to breathe well due to the anxiety. So I
just wanted to tell you if you want to
talk, I want to listen, because that's
what people are doing for me, and it
really helps. Medical problems majorly
suck, so hang in there and I hope all gets
better for you.

Far Fetched Posted: 06-26-07 09:48am
Do you drink diet soda or use a sugar
substitute?
I remember a while back reading an article
about bad side affects some people got
from something about what was in them.
Again, this might sound far fetched, but
if you do, try not using either and see if
your stomach conditions change.
Sorry, I can't remember the details but,
good luck.

What are you taking for the acid reflux, I
had the same problem and it all started
with anxiety. I went to the doctor and did
a full blood work, ekg,chest xrays even a
pap smear and mammogram sonogram they said
nothing was wrong and said it was acid
reflex and anxiety. So I was put on nexium
, prilosec ,tagament, zentac etc.... The
only thing those things did was make my
face, neck, throat and lips go numb. All
of my body ached got night sweats, dizzy
and nausiated. Told doctor and he said yes
but it got rid of the pain in your
stomache and chest rib bone area. Yes it
did but all those meds had bad side
effects to me. It took me about a year to
actually get rid of all the junk out of my
system. It could be the meds your on. Its
a bad feeling I thought I was going to
die. One thing has helped and that is the
zoloft for anxiety. Recently broke my leg
and the pain killers and ibriprofen messed
my stomach up again and lord and behold
along comes the anxiety. Try to drink lots
of water and stay away from pizza white
breads caffein and sugar, its going to
take time but in a couple of months you
will start feeling better'

I was hospitalized (mental..), lost my
job, became homeless at a young age (come
from an unsupportive family) due to
anxiety attacks caused by my gallbladder
attacks. I was misdiagnosed for 4 1/2
years despite repeated ER visits and
several visits to specialist. My life was
and still is pretty much ruined because of
this. I don't even know where to pick up
the pieces.

Acupuncture! It really really helped me.
I think it saved my life!
). Are they treating you for this? How
are you doing? Can you ask for medication
