Let The Battle Begin!

I went to see the gastroenterologist who first realized there was something clinically wrong with me a year ago. Today we met to discuss the NIH's test that indicated I am not processing the fats in the food I eat (this results in pain when eating and difficulty gaining weight). So it turns out that all those doctors that kept telling me to ignore my pancrease and my early diagnosis of pancreatitis were wrong.

Dr. Kaushik says there are two reasons for wasting. 1) Not enough of the right chemicals being produced by your pancrease to properly digest the food it takes in. 2) Your body not absorbing what's there, which is hard to fix and not indicated by my labs. 

The first option can be easily addressed with a drug called Creon™. I would need to take one-two pills every time I eat foods with fat in them. 

That's it!!! Just these two pills, no major side effects,the drugs not worse then the disease. I can eat normal again. I know this because three hours ago I ate this.

Fish and Chips! Amazing!!! I only ate half, I'm not fool hearty. Guess what? No pain yet. 

To good to be true right? Right?

It can't be that simple Right?

Insurance won't cover the drug?!?! Say it costs to much at $3,000 a month. They will only authorize 1/4 the amount of the drug I need. 

Let the battle begin!!!
