So here it starts. At nineteen years of age I have chronic pancreatitis. What happens now? How will this effect my life? What do I have to worry …
Just yesterday (22 July, 2008) I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, with moderate scarring on my pancreas. All at age 19. The news shocked me and left me in a blur of emotions. I was scared, nervous, anxious, confused, and flat bummed out. I have to change my life now,or I could kill myself. I have already had pain so bad that I can't stay out late at night with my girlfriend and stare at the stars. Now, I have to adapt, overcome and compensate to make my life the best that I can.
