Nice to be here

I have just been diagnosed with severe chronic pancreatitis. I am really scared, even though I've had bad symptoms for some time. I'm on enzyme therapy and recently had to increase the dose. Would like to talk to people that have had experience with this. Thank you and I look forward to meeting you

Hello. Welcome!

I am not sure whether you intended to post here? Is your question related to you wanting to begin running C25K...as this is a running forum?

Hey, don't feel you need to apologise, I'm sorry you are unwell and scared and hope you find a forum with others who have an understanding of your illness. Let's hope the treatment makes a big difference you never know, you might come back here and do the couch to five k ......you could always walk it, we cheer anyone on.

🍏Hi Corrinne I think you are posting on the wrong forum. We are a RUNNING Forum. Sorry about your medical problem but I don’t think you will find many people able to advise or help you here. We are mainly here for the Couch to 5K runners and graduates.

A lovely reply from    SueAppleRun which says it all.

I have just found a group that may be able to help support you.
