I don't know where to start. About four years ago I lost over 7 stone through Slimming World . I felt great. My energy and well being were excellent. In September 2018 I was rushed to the hospital with necrotising pancreatitis. My body went into shock and I was on life support and in a coma for over a week and in hospital for over three months. I was told my chance of survival was 8%.
When recovering I had numerous hospital stays for pseudocysts, removal of debris, inflammation and other complications. I was diabetic through pancreatic damage and need to take Creon to eat meals. About a year later. I had more of my pancreas removed and this stemmed the flow of constant hospital stays. The thing is I am lost I tried for years to stabilise my BS and I have been largely been unsuccessful. I get depressed and just eat anything, yes even the stuff a diabetic shouldn't. My mental state and energy is terrible . I sleep for hours during the day but not great at night. I love my family but they don't seem to understand the mental and physical struggle and by and large think I'm doing ok but I know I am notI get very little medical back up. My consultant appoint was changed seven times and eventually happened by phone. I constantly worry and resolve every day to have a new start . I am hoping someone on here can give me insight or possibly today I am feeling more sorry for myself than usual If you knew me you would know that I am not the sort to complain.
