I too, have an overall feeling of fatigue, long term, since before and now after 2 years of treatment (creon, supplementation, healthy diet, food sensitivity testing and elimination, minimal alcohol). I still experience regular diarrhea and am always at least 20 lbs underweight. I have found more frequent, smaller snacks/meals are best, but can't seem to address the weakness, loss of muscle, weight loss, fatique...
I have stopped seeking professional advice due to lack of information on subject and in the case of wellness practitioners, lack of sustainable finances. I do, however, learn from sharing information on this chat site.
I have no family history, have not been diagnosed with Pancreatitis (MRI), although my symptoms began about a year after a serious bout of Covid.
I feel like I am not providing enough advice, but also am willing to share some nutritional advice from my nutritionist if anyone is interested.
I too, would like to know what you have been prescribed.
Hi @dianehrdr - sorry that you have to deal with overall fatigue on a long-term basis. That, and the treatment you've been through, sound tough to deal with. And it sounds like some of your symptoms continue. Ugh.
I'm sorry to hear that you've found professional advice lacking. I am, however, encouraged that you've learned from members here on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Are you saying you are finding that practitioners outside of traditional medicine are quite expensive?
If you do have some nutritional advice you think would help other members here with EPI, will you share some of that?
