One of the hardest things for me (when I was researching other blogs for similar experiences) was that I could not “get” the chronological order to the events. For this reason I urge you to start at the following pages in this order:
chronological events starting in January 2007.
[Note: ** items are considered essential reading].

- There are many many more after this date. Best way to read in order from here is to use the calendar on the right side of your browser. This list ends in: Dec. 16th, 2007 so pick the calendar back up there.
- Some pages that link to many other pages are:
On-going book reviews (non-medical)
Series on my relationship with Jax: Relationship
Tips for life (if you have a chronic disease) - And the All-Encompassing Blog: If you’re searching for… Answers/Questions to a lot of items.
thanks/sasha
I found your blog, but can’t get an idea of how old some of the posts really are. I too have had pancreatitis, I say had, I have had a pancreatectomy with auto islet cell transplant. I too have an intrathecal pump, and remain in a constant state of chronic pain. I would however love to correspond with you. It would be refreshing to speak with someone else who is an informed patient.
DEAR LISA,
JUST READ THIS PAGE FROM THE TOP then DOWN. Also another great way to read the website chronologically is to use the calendar on the right side of your web-window. I began the site in 2007. Hope that helps!
