The most common symptom of pancreatitis is a severe upper abdominal and/or left upper quadrant pain radiating to the back. Unexplained weight loss may occur from a lack of pancreatic enzymes hindering digestion.
Hi there.
You have some questions about Chronic Pancreatitis. Can I suggest you go to Facebook and search for two support groups, both of which I am an admin too. The first is "The Australian Pancreas Foundation Inc." And "Pancreas Pals".
Request membership as they are both closed groups and there are some very awesome ppl to support you. Also feel free to PM me, my name is Dave Metcalf, search that name or my mobile 0474229113. Or my email [email protected]. One of those should come up with my Facebook name. If not join the group then look for one of my posts especially in the Aussie group. Or just email me and I'll search for you.
Cheers Dave M
I'm on Facebook one of the groups "The national chronic pancreatitis support group chat page" has over 2.1k members. There are people from all around the world on that site. Any questions you may have someone has the answer. It's a very open, honest and supportive group. We'd love to have you join.
Dear Krysta,
Thank you very much for your answer and did join the group.
With greetings
