Hi. Sorry you're feeling so bad. I'm thinking that you might get more useful practical advice and info on a pancreatitis board, particularly about things like symptom management. Here you'll find a lot of people scared of pancreatitis who don't have it. That said, I am living with cirrhosis due to alcoholism and I suffer from health anxiety as well, so it depends what kind of advice you're looking for really. Do you have a history of health anxiety?

Have they referred you for further tests? It can be a lengthy process getting a definitive diagnosis which is hugely stressful I know.

yes I have suffered with health anxiety for the past 25 years and have seen many many Psychiatrists etc but never really got fixed..thats why I carried on drinking to block it out..
I feel like my body is full of demons and just feel like i am dying

Huh? You have had all sorts of tests and "you are being told" that you probably have chronic pancreatitis? By whom? Who are these that told you that? Not doctors I hope? I mean with all sorts of tests and nothing whatsoever in these tests are indicating it. Did you get that from some health board? Whos says that you probably has it and why?

The gastroenterologist that did the endoscopy was a surgeon and he was the one that came to that conclusion but one of the docs i have seen doesn't agree...I am in constant chronic pain which isn't touched by pain meds...even morphine tablets.
