Hi grannydee,
I'm so sorry you had such a long and difficult journey to get on the correct treatment. I'm happy to hear you're on your way to better health!

I wanted to thank you so much for your encouraging words in your above post! We're the same age, and I was recently diagnosed with EPI and also on Medicare. I'm trying to navigate all the information that's out there, including getting assistance to pay for Creon. Quite overwhelming, to say the least.

Reading your post was the medicine I needed. I hit bottom yesterday feeling so helpless and hopeless which is part of the five stages in accepting an illness. Those stages will come and go and come again, but I'm determined to get to acceptance in time and keep pushing on. Your post gave me the boost I needed to keep going with the right attitude. Tackling anything in life is all about the right attitude, and many times it takes a reset button to readjust your attitude and keep going.

I found you through your posts to @susanh824. I also replied to Susan and shared some of the other challenges I've been through. I hope Susan can get the right answers she needs very soon.

You are truly a blessing to all of us in this group.

Wishing you all the best and thank you again for your encouragement.
