@yankeelisa0669 Hi, I also have EPI and just hate the way it makes me think about my medicines all day. I have a bad habit of leaving the house without them or forgetting to take them even when I have them. Perhaps I’m just trying to ignore the disease so it will go away. I don’t means to be a real downer, but my introduction to EPI was so casual that it didn’t seem real. Oh, well.
I take 2 pills with meals and one with snacks, when things are going the right way. We’ve just moved into a senior residence and the meals aren’t big so 2 with works well. You may want to do some research before you see your doctor so you can formulate some good questions to ask. I have found that most EPI-people have had to do their own research because doctors don’t seem to have a good handle on the disease.
So, educate yourself and advocate for yourself!
