Hi I'm new to the forum and looking for some help.
Diagnosed in 2014 with a Insulinoma a rare neuroendocrine tumour (NETs).
Had surgery in 2014 and again 2016 a distal pancreatectomy was performed It was hit and miss if I needed Creon and had no real problems until February of this year.
I'm struggling atm health wise I've been in A&E several times with chronic pancreatitis and rapid weight loss. I have seen a gastro doctor who with many other doctors and specialists are clueless to how to treat me. I have tryed to be proactive I've changed my diet big time, I take Ames vitamin and mineral supplements twice aday. I'm trying to keep fit I walk a lot as it helps me to digest my food. I'm takin 3x 10,000 Creon with each meal and supplement drink. But last week end not only I'm a struggling with chronic fatigue on going since February now I am finding that my muscles ache(feel like my legs are going to give way), headache, forgetfulness,waking in the night, pains in my chest just to name a few. I've been trying to lead a normal life but now I'm spending more time in bed.
I'm seeing my GP on Friday and want to be able to use that time to ask her to run some tests to see if I'm getting all the vitamins and minerals from my drinks and food (I eat six small meals aday) instead of coming away with anti depressants and any think else she thinks will help.
Thank you
