Question: Just received a diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis what does this mean for me? I have chronic kidney disease and I am in stage 3, I also have hypothyroidism, and adrenal hyperplaisia . I'm not sure how to find answers that will factor all of this in....anyone have any ideas or any useful info?
Answer: There is a yahoo group that can help answer a ton of your questions about chronic pancreatitis.
The basics that I've found with my pancreatitis. I'm not a doctor, always talk with your doctor about your health questions.
Watch your diet, no alcohol, no fatty foods. You might find that digestive enzymes help with the pain when you eat.
Manage your pain, and be firm with your doctors about your true pain levels. Bring in someone that sees you everyday to your doctor's appointments to validate your pain levels.
Make sure your specialists all work together. Your Endocrinologist will address your hypothyroidism, and adrenal hyperplaisia, but will still need to work with your Gastroenterologist about the pancreatitis, etc.
Good luck
