    Diagnosed pancreatitis

    Hi all been in the background on this forum for a while, reading people stories and AL problems. Last thursday morning 4am i woke up with sharp pains in left side of stomach and mild pains about 3inches above belly button, could not sleep at all, took pain killers but pain was still there. Anyway i waited later on to see if pain would go away itself but it didnt, so i decided to admit myself to A&E as advised by my doctor. A week before of heavy drinking i vomited blood which i new something serious is wrong. I know that my previous blood test of ALT and GGT have been HIGH which should have been a knock on the head to quit this poison. Also i could not eat anything since the pain started. Whilst in hospital they done all relevant tests CT scans US scans, blood tests. After the next day the doctor came around to see me and he said that i have pancreatitis due to alcohol abuse and i must quit a.s.a.p. I know i have to quit but i went and had a few drinks later on the next day:upset:
    Having looking at my hospital discharge note at key investigations section i have normal amylase and lipase levels, normal spleen , normal gall bladder, no gallstones. What they found was inflammation around pancreas small thrombus on splenic vein but also says LIKELY PANCREATITIS. My doctor had prescribed me thiamine, b6, that was before i went to hospital. I feel really ashamed and disgusted withmyself that i have let me drinking get out of control. Its know effecting my family life to. even though i am writing this my mind is heading towards the bottle, ANY ADVICE AND SUPPORT PLS!!!!

            Hi Rocco,

            Welcome to MWO, this is a good place. I'm glad you've decided to take control of your situation before it gets any worse.

            Go to the Health store here on the site & download the MWO book. It's full of good info for you.

            You need to make a plan for yourself. Look in the https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html for some useful ideas.

            I did not use any meds to quit drinking but I do recommend using the MWO Hypno CDs also available in the Health store. They helped me learn to relax without AL & to change my thinking ~ very important!
            All this with a strong desire & commitment to quit will take you a long way.

            Wishing you the best!

                  Hi Rocco,
                  Just wanted to say hello. I have found this site to be incredibly useful.
                  Like Lav I did not use meds. You just have to find what is most useful for you. For me it was/is coming here and posting. The fact that I could share, and know others have been through the same or similar situations/feelings was very helpful. Also there are many threads here that have helped remind me why I can not drink. You can always reach out to anyone here and get a positive response. I really hope the best for you. Welcome, wander, post often, or lurk, glad to have you here.
