I read your letter. I agree with everything you wrote. I have accute pancreatitus. I have had pancreatitus since october 2003 and still in major pain every day 24/7. I am in and out of the hospital every other month, for two to three weeks at a time. It hurts so much to eat or drink, it makes it worse. I feel like I am 90 years old and I am only 40. I get hot flashes, chills, fainting spells, vomiting, and I feel very tired quite often. Is there any hope for me? Please write back.
