i have a pain on the right side of my body. I am worried that it might be panceitis. I have been doing research ever since the pain on the right side of my body just under my rib cage started. It hurt wnen i bent to the right or to the left. It went away on the first day but then it came back. I’ve found 3 reasons for this so far, back/spine problems, Pancreaitis and a strained muscle from sweeping.

You make me feel like I am not the only one in the world going through this. I had begain to think I was just CRAZY. My family wants to ingnore and “hurry up and get better”. I know it’s because they don’t understand and nothing I seem to tell them seems to get thru.

Hi,

Thanks for nice blog. I’m actually interested in everything autoimmune. I MUST!

Although my problem is different (MS), I see lots and lots of similarities.

And who knows, when and where I’ll find a piece of useful information.

Thanks

Hi Sasha,

Thank you for your blog; it is the first I have seen on living with CP. I’ve been ill with CP since 2004. Most recently I had a Whipple procedure, but since half the pancreas was left behind, it was a bit of a crap shoot. Before the surgery, the extent of the CP was not know. Now we know my pancreas is riddled with it.

The main issue I am struggling with is work. Before getting ill I was a workaholic- a professor at a research university with a lab of 10 people. I don’t know how my lab has stayed together over the past few years. Deep down, I know it is not possible for me to work on my previous terms, not even close, and I need to find what is “right” for me.

Do you know what kinds of solutions people with CP have come up with regarding career? I would really love to hear about people’s creative approaches to this.

With thoughts and prayers,
Diana

I have been persuing your posts for the past few days.
I am recently discovering things like R.A. blogs.
It really is amazing to hear about other young people going through the same things.
Thank you for all your posts!
