It makes one irritable and cranky.
It only happened the one time, being sick bringing up a bit of pancreas at a time, for a week, I cannot drink alcohol [never tried again] although I had not been drinking for 3 years, before then, that was it no more drinking?
For some reason I had pancreatitis this morning. I haven't had any attacks for some time. Today it started with my completely soaking the bed with sweat, then the pain started. It started just under my sternum then radiated to my back, where it spread mostly to the left side. It lasted for about 2 hours. I feel alone because I have A LOT of health issues and I don't want to let other people know I have another so I keep it to myself - although I do find that makes me sad - I'm not good at bearing things alone. I feel angry and frustrated because I think 'i haven't had this for ages, I thought it had gone, but it's just proved it's back. It then scares me because I worry it has got worse
It makes so much pain I just grab my heating pad and hide under the covers because it hurts so bad. It hurts so bad that I can not talk. I can just cry and lie with my heating pad. It frustrates me that it happens so much.
Definitely makes you irritable. Over the years when I was grouchy, my husband got to the point he automatically asked, "Are you hurting today?" He knew how it made me irritable. 
It makes me feel exhausted
