I have already decided, no matter what, that I am done with all alcohol. I have not had a drink since New Years Day. Nothing strong since early December. I have cut waay back on fried stuff but I KNOW I need to do better. My pain is very minimal but simply will not stay away. I'm scheduled for a thorough Physical a week from Monday but am considering going to the ER in a day or two if it maintains....to get the ball rolling. Things like this scare the hell outta me. If I go through my Family Physician (SST???) by the time I get to my Dr and referrals , it'll be WEEKS before anything is done.
My Step Dad passed away almost exactly two years ago from Pancreatic Cancer. His pain was MUCH worse than anything I have. He also got VERY bloated and lost all appetite ( He LOVED to eat too!)
I hate playing Doctor Google but from what I read, it does sound like Pancreatitis.
