I had pancreatitis with a pseudo cyst. It was awful and I had to go to A&E, they kept me in. It was very painful, I just felt dreadful.

how are feeling? as many illness;s have very similar symptoms so you cant really go on symptoms alone. go to see your doctor and put your mind at ease and get medication if its needed. thats the sensible thing to do. wishing you well love grace xoxo

I had pancreatitis caused by an inflamed gallbladder. It was incredibly painful.

I had gallstone pancreatitis and it was the most painful thing I have ever encountered. This was within months of having a very long (26+ hour) labour for my first baby resulting in a caesarean. That was easy in comparison to pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis would be something you couldn't ignore even if you wanted too. When I was diagnosed I'd been to a and e 3 times, each time they assumed I had gastritis and sent me home. On the third occasion I was near collapse, they finally decided to do bloods, then panicked as they realised how ill I was. Chronic pancreatitis I think is different but still very painful.

Symptoms were, pain+++++++, vomiting, fever, generally feeling awful.

Hope you don't have it, get checked out ASAP.

Best wishes

My husband was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis when he was first admitted to hospital with cirrhosis and he wasn't aware he had it but he had so many other symptoms related to his liver disease that they overlap. He has since been diagnosed with Diabetes and has to take creons with his food.
