I\'ve had attacks since I can remember, I\'ve had more attacks and been in the ER/Hospital then I can count.

Recently Iv\'e tried the patch. What a drag. Maintenance Mayhem. They say it\'s all diet related. I agree, but I han\'t been able to stop the attacks with the low fat guidelines. My amylase levels have gone from 3000 to 4000. I Live in LA, I had 2 Endoscopies.

After my latest CTI scan at UCLA with contrast, they found there is scarring spreading into other dangerous areas.

My Pancreas is anow about 90% scarr tissue. Let me tell you, monitor you scarring percentage. At 90 you want to go and get checked for possible cancer development so that doesn\'t get ya.

My frustration is that my Doctors don\'t want to offer anything but the patch and it doen\'t work, especially for the flare up\'s.

I need to find a doctor with a better answer, I\'ve tried vicodine/norco but it\'s doesn\'t help much and you body builds a tolerance to it fast.

Feel free to email me anytime at dibart@sbcglobal.com , the emails actually goto my cell phone so if you include youre phone number I\'ll call you back. Dave -
