April 5th 2022. I went to bed after a nice spicy pasta meal. I'd eat wrecklessly until this day but did suffer with diarreah in the mornings if I had too much coffee or fried food. I'd had this pain before but just thought it was indigestion/acid reflux. The pain on this night was VERY demanding and became excruciating. I tossed & turned for over 8 hrs then admitted myself to A&E. I was diagnosed with Gastritis and sent home on some nice painkillers. All good then April 17th after binging on Easter treats I went into an even worse attack, this time coupled with what seemed to be awful reflux and when I burped I felt my food wanting to come up. I spent the entire week miserable but switching my diet as I was now following a Gastritis diet. May 5th. The day im thankful for. I went into a THIRD attack, assumingly after not healing from the previous episode.. I dragged myself, this time with a blazing fever, back to A%E and demanded they check my abdominal bloods. To my horror and delight they found not only a terribly inflamed pancreas but lots of little gallstones. I stayed in hospital for one week and they got my levels down. Then I was on the gallbladder removal hot list and I'm 3 weeks post op. This has been a weird month. I didn't even know what a pancreas or gallbladder was, I've gone from a very fluid work, music and social life to sheer health anxiety but wanted any insight if this sounds like chronic or acute pancreatitis? I'm gonna guess my pancreas is pissed off with me as I only treated it one month after the first attack so its been through hell. They did an MRI around 20 days ago and my bile ducts were clear thankfully. Last 2 days I've had little teasy jabs in my upper back and a little intermittent stabbing under my left rib - I'm gonna take it as a hint not to have anymore treats (I've been fully low fat for one month but I can tolerate chocolate & cookies and have a bad sweet tooth...) Am I now a chronic sufferer?
