Medical issue solved at last

Many of you expressed concern and offered support when I mentioned the reason I have not been posting photos much of late was because of a hitherto undiagnosed health problem. This has dogged me since last summer.

Well at the end of January after many 'oscopies; ultrasounds; x-rays;and scans, I finally found out what the issue was.

My pancreas is not producing enzymes required to digest food properly. I still need further scans to establish exactly why, but there is a simple medication which I have just now started which is enzyme replacement therapy. It cannot cure the underlying problem, but it will get my digestive system back on track. I will have to take these with every meal for life, but I can deal with that and hopefully get back to normal very soon.

Just need to dodge this bloody virus now !!

Much appreciated John. Yes the worst part was not knowing, and the tendency of many professionals to blame it on the IBS catch-all. In the end it was my dietician who suggested the specific test which showed what the problem actually was. Once I get the dosing correct, I should be back to normal and have the energy again to pick up the K1

Thank you.

Thank you. I was actually over the moon to get the diagnosis so I can move forward.

Thank you John

Yes indeed. I had never heard of it before.


Thank you all for your wishes
