Newly Dx Diaberic and found a acute pancreatitis

Hello cjanke, please check out pancreatitis survivors on Facebook u have more people on that site that can help u with ur questions.

I do know that when my husband has a pancreatitis attack n he is throwing up a lot he will have Brown vomit Dr said it was blood (nothing to worry about) from the hard vomiting and he will say his throat is soar from the hard throwing up.

Hope it helps n please go on Facebook n find a site to go on it's been so helpful for me , just to have someone to talk to quicker.

Good luck to u n ur husband!

For now he only has chronic pancreatitis... thank God!

But we have had r fair share of hospital visits n stays.... last year was the worst with almost the full year in the hospital... smh

Now, I have learned about his care n this illness n if I don't know I get corrected by similar sufferers on Facebook, so u end up learning a lot!

He has a pain pump for the pain n we r working still on dosage. Have u considered an insulin pump? We also, try to find competent, good Dr's! We have a great PCP that understands his needs, he also admitts him in the hospital when needed. We just found a good pain Dr that we r referred to by our old pain Dr. And now we r in search of a good GI That will set tests n proper care for CP in motion.

The only way to manage with this illness is finding good Dr that have ur back!

With pancreatitis I have read on Facebook that some have it often. My husband has good n bad days since flair ups last for different times.

What's the cause of his pancreatitis? Is the diabetes from the pancreatitis?

Hi I got acute pancreatitis last year I didn't cough any mucus or blood up when my pancreas start I'm always being sick feeling dizzy then the pains come really bad they still haven't found out what's causing it but hope he's better soon

Hi Christine, sorry to hear that your husband came down with Pancreatitis. It is one of the most painful diagnosis one can get is my belief. I bore 5 children and that was a breeze compared to what I endured before and after arriving at the hospital with severe pain in the middle of my chest and going around to my back and I was vomiting that stuff up that you described as well. I vomited like that until it became finally a green froth and that is when they started administering Iv Fluids and Meds for the pain. I will tell you, he will need to stick to a real easy diet for a while, it took me a good 3 months and easing back into solids after a month of liquid nutrition. I couldnt keep anything down and if I tried to eat anything solid, the pain came back along with the nausea and vomiting so dont expect him to come out of this too fast because he wont, sorry to say Just make sure he gets plenty of rest and help if needed. I had no one to help me when I got this and oh my, it was awful. In any case, nah, dont worry bout what hes passing and vomiting, its normal with this and will pass in a few days.

I have some dark colored phlegm with cough, but I do have asthma also. Not sure why the colored mucus. Good luck with the treatment
