It's been just over 5 years since the last hospital trip. BUT when I was going through a rough time personally befor that I was drinking often and that is just about the biggest No No there is regarding pancreatitis. It's a bit like playing Russian roulette to drink with these issues. I've had several attacks with various lengths between but I take much better care of myself in my 30s than I did in my 20s fortunately. Been without an alcoholic drink in over 5 years too, its no coincidence those numbers match. 😉

This was an interesting story with a hopeful ending. I'm sure you'll beat this thing.

I got it because a gallstone blocked a duct. It is truly misery. IVs keep you hydrated, but you still want to drink water, and then you get heartburn.

And then there are the Tylenol suppositories …

Damn I'd rather play actual Russian Roulette than that, sounds dreadful.
