[QUOTE="Gary with 1 R, post: 2461388, member: 550559"] Hi, I am in no way an expert in anything medical, I was diagnosed with pancreatitis 5 or 6 years ago, am now type 2 diabetes, for the first few years the pancreatitis was very painful, usually 2 to 3 days in hospital, I am now 60 yrs old, was never a big drinker, now maybe 1 or 2 drinks a year, have not had a pancreas attack in over 3 yrs. Try not to look at it as a death sentence, make the best of each day, get a bucket list, do stuff you want to do, enjoy the time you have, I know that’s easy for me to say, I am not in your shoes. You are 26 yrs old, 7 yrs ago my 23 yr old son died in his sleep from a rare heart condition, no warnings no signs, here one day gone the next, after my family were checked I was told my 2 youngest sons have the same (ARVD and short QT) and that I probably would outlive both. Maybe you need to look at this being an extension to your life, a chance to do things, a chance to live,. I hope this waffle of an old man helps, Gary [/QUOTE]
