Brother in hospital with acute alcoholic pancreatitis- seeking advice for what will happen next and interested to hear others' experience

Hi there, My brother was hospitalized two days ago with acute pancreatitis caused by alcohol. He is still admitted but getting better and will hopefully be discharged soon. We are all unsure what to do next.

Liver scarring

During lockdown, I was emergency admitted to hospital with acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones. I had my gall bladder out, with no complications. Didn't drink at all for 3 months before and 6 months afterwards.

Help with talking to dr about meds

A few years ago I had an acute pancreatitis that was extremely painful and I spent months, multiple hospital stays and surgeries before My father took me to the Mayo Clinic and they saved my life.

Which Treatment

I was referred to Palliative care by my pancreas specialist but was turned down due to all the flags in my medical records from so many ER visits in severe pain , but since they only know how to test& treat Acute Pancreatitis which tests were normal, so they didn't know why I was in pain even though

Do I have any life left?

I am 81 and have battled acute pancreatitis, removal of a "gall bladder full of rocks, the size of a submarine sandwich", then undiagnosed chronic pancreatitis and some kind of bile problem, for 49 years. I've begged and pleased for help and been refused.

Worried about liver

I have depression and anxiety(I know alcohol doesn’t help). 3 acute pancreatitis attacks last year and one a month ago. Had ultrasound which was clear about 5 weeks ago. Like a twit I have relapsed again. What worries me most is the mild itchiness, dry skin and nausea.

Struggling with guilt

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with PA about 3 years ago following a terrible episode of acute pancreatitis followed by gallbladder surgery. I have struggled badly with fatigue, brain fog and anxiety and retired early as a result.

Surgery upcoming.

Was hospitalized two weeks ago with acute pancreatitis. Long story short, I will have my gallbladder removed on Friday. Spoke at length with my hemotologist and have no real concerns. Just wondering if anyone wants to share his/her experience of surgery with MPN. Thanks

Miracles do happen 🙏🏻 Tony - Covid19: 1-0

He had every infection and bug there is out there, including CMV virus, he had a very severe case of acute pancreatitis, his liver failed, he was on a feeding tube for 3 months. He had to learn to do everything from the beginning as the muscle wastage was phenomenal.

Steroids - Everything you need to know!

Speak to your GP or seek urgent medical care if you get: Acute pancreatitis - nausea/vomiting, diarrhoea, indigestion/heartburn, jaundice, abdominal tenderness, tachycardia, fever. Go to A&E if you suspect this! Cushings - too much cortisol.

I probably have PMR

However he said that if PMR is diagnosed, there is a problem with me taking corticosteroids, as in the past I had idiopathic acute pancreatitis. For this reason, even ibuprofen, which has been helpful in getting me moving, is not advised. He will refer me to a rheumatologist for advice.

Something instead of morphine?

He has been in hospital with severe pain three or four times and acute chronic pancreatitis was diagnosed so he also takes Creon. He has had four scans which show no cancer But still the pain persists.

Prolia Denosumab and vetebral fractures

On that occasion I was left to my own devices with acute pancreatitis diagnosed by mri during menopause. Believe me please because like all of the problems big and small we live with it's often made even worse by lack of care or understanding.
