Creon vs. Zenpep
Anyone else still trying to navigate the costs and efficacy of Creon and
Zenpep
? They both cost a fortune-and I have decent (or so I thought) healthcare coverage! And which is better? (And yeah, I know it’s always personal preference-but I’d still like a consensus).

Need Relief
I have EPI for which I am prescribed PERT (
Zenpep
40K). I have also had a Celiac Plexis Nerve Block which provided some pain relief (~20%?). I am almost always in mild to moderate pain with severe flareups on occasion (every 4 weeks or so).

terrible metalic taste in my mouth ALL the time!
I’m now into my second year of PMR, I’m on 5mgs of Prednisone and 20mgs of somac a day, 50mgs of Endep at night. I don’t think I have changed anything in my diet etc but I have a terrible metallic taste in my mouth constantly, nothing cuts through it, I’ve tried biting a lime and nothing, whatever

Getting the Right Enzyme Dose
If you're on pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), whether you take Creon,
Zenpep
, or another brand of pancreatic enzymes, you should make sure your dose is right for you. In this 5 minute video, Dr. Steven Freedman explains how to dose pancreatic enzymes for adults.

Teenage daily migraines
First of all, sorry about my long-winded message. My 14 year old daughter has been getting daily “migraine-like” headaches that last from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to sleep. (This is the description the neurologist gives). She has had them now for 3 months & is unable to participate

Desperate
Buckle up for a long one. My mum is 57 and has suffered with RLS since she was a child but it got really bad when she was around 30 and pregnant. I think it settled down after my sister was born but has gradually gotten worse. I know probably over the last 2-3 years she has been really struggling and

Anyone else have chronic pain that has limited your ability to travel in a car or even leave the house for long period of time??
Question and long rant. I am struggling big time with chronic pain, mostly nerve pain but also ovary pain around ovulation and period weeks. I had my lap about 14 weeks ago that diagnosed and removed an extensive amount of endo and i have been on Visanne since then that has stopped my period bleeding

Meningoencephalitis Survivor
Hey everyone, I had Meningoencephalitis back in 2011, and have had a headache (usually a 5/10) everyday since (yup, 7 years worth). About once every two months i'll have a 'blow' out and have to go to hospital for stronger meds to bring the pain level back to 'my normal'. I have tried Sandomigran, Endep

Newly diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica and more recently GCA
Hi everyone, I’m new here and have been reading lots of posts as I am in lots of pain and feeling pretty low. I have had Fibromyalgia since 2001 and have now been hit with another myalgia. Don’t know what I did to deserve this. Anyway, I am in my late 60s, usually pretty stoic and just get on with life

Does anyone have any sleeping remedies or meds that work?
I was taking Endep (which gave me a full night's sleep) but my Neurologist changed me from Stalevo (which was giving me Dyskenesia) to Madopar + Xadago. But I had to cease the Endep as he said it could conflict with the Xadago, which is a fairly new drug that is still being trialled. He prescribed Paxam

Life, diagnosis, drugs.... a bit of my life!
*long story sorry* After 10 years of severe pain and being told it was in my head... a lap finally diagnosed endo. After op, pain never totally went but improved, however this was only for a couple of months then it began building up again. Within 6 months it was back to it's usual full force. The gynae

Concussion symptom?
Has anyone ever experienced a period of hypersexuality after a concussion or with post-concussion syndrome? Don't have to go into detail it just appears that the correlation for this symptom is recognised with more serious or debilatating head injuries. Yet I had a concussion and pcs and have had this
