Experiences with

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).

I’ve had some other tests and they’ve resulted in me being treated with a medication Creon (Zenpep). This is used to help break down food when the pancreas is not working properly. We shall see the results from this treatment in about a week.

hi everyone, just wanted to ask I have had a sore throat and a cough since June, I have had a slight improvement since coming down from 5mgs of Prednisone to 4 ( I’ve been taking this for over 2 years now) feel like it’s upsetting my stomach maybe causing more reflux! The cough is driving me nuts, I

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).

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

I have severe rls and suffer augmentation. I am trying to slowly wean off sifrol and have been taking 400mg gabapentan.I take 30mg codeine in early hours of each morning(1-3am)to ease rls and help me go back tap sleep.I also have fibromyalgia.My sleep specialist wants me to start endep to help my sleep

my doctor only prescribed me zen pep and my insurance wont cover it, and i cant afford it is there anything else i can take to my enzmes that would help other than zenpep

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.

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

Hi everyone :) Thank you for accepting me into the group I'm pretty sure no one wants to be in! I was treated for stage 1b3 squamous cell cervical cancer late last year, so am almost a year post treatment (5 weeks of chemoradiation and 2 x brachytherapy.) I attended all my cervical screening appts,

Does anybody else have nerve damage from surgery and have to go on endep? What are your stories? Thanks 😊😊

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a long time. 3.5 years ago i had chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cervical cancer and now for the last 18 months ive had nerve pain that seems to be spreading all over my body.

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

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

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

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

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

Just to update on my previous post: https://healthunlocked.com/theibsnetwork/posts/140191583/fybogel-not-effective-anymore For the past week I've been having normal bowel movements (every two days, at same time, normal consistency) without the use of fybogel or any supplements, medication etc. What

*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
