[QUOTE="Shar67, post: 1244001"] Maybe when docs ask how much alcohol you drink during assessment, if you say none then they look at other causes, one junior doc said to me, white, fat , over 40, gallstones. Later he came and said you haven't been handling scorpions have you. When consultant came he said I was a very very interesting case, amalayse and lipase was 25000 & 30000 he said you should be dead. Every time I see my consultant it is the 2nd thing he says, do you drink alcohol, 1st thing is have I seen you before, great, read the notes. So we are swept up in the alcohol and drug chasers, I'm on some pretty heavy duty drugs but the don't take pain away, it always surprises me when i get a hypo hangover, you would think they would at least stop that. On a positive note if it wasn't for the pancreatitis, I wouldn't have been scanned (lots) and the ovarian tumour wouldn't have been seen (there is some very short studies on female hormones causing pancreatitis), the tumour would have been like a silent assassin, so pancreatitis although it almost killed me it also saved my life.
