Hi I'm new on this forum, I have been verry unwell with severe abdominal pain, fatigue and weight loss over the past 2 years I was back and forth the my GP's for blood test after blood test one scan after another Evan the magic eye yet they found nothing over a period of 7 months doctor fearing I had some type of stomach cancer my weight went from a steady 13-14 stone to a frail 8 stone eventually I got admitted to Glangwily hospital in Carmarthen Wales as I could not cope with the pain and fatigue no longer with no diagnosis I was a shell of my former self but finally got diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis after having a MRI got told there was no cure and had to change my lifestyle and try control the pain and was discharged with just pain relief 3 months go bye and I'm not much better just trying to control the pain with MST's and other medication yet feeling extremely fatigued all muscle and fat had gone from my body I was nothing but skin and bone my girlfriend at the time just watched me wasting away and couldn't leave me that way so called a ambulance Glangwily was full so had to go to Withybush hospital where I was for 3 weeks where they diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes had me on many different drips one being insalun and they built me back up and I have been on a journey since my hole life has turned upside down trying to live with these conditions and I spend most my time in doors struggling with depression and BG being high I am trying hard to get a healthy balance I have given up the drinking and smoking plus try to stay away from sugary and fatty food. I have no social life anymore I'm forever tierd and can just stay in bed for day's. I have been reading many of the posts on here and see people struggling with the same things I do and can see this forum being a good place to learn how to live with this and ask questions becouse I know you will understand what I'm going through as I've had no-one to turn to I'm not good at explaining how I feel... thanks for listening rant over and I feel good about joining this learning more and taking control
