We would like to introduce you to our upcoming series of articles on pain management for pancreatitis.  We’re really happy that our friend June Henry has agreed to write a series of articles on this most important of issues.  June has suffered from pancreatitis for a number of years and has enormous personal experience in dealing with the day-to-day issues sufferers face.  She has ‘been through the mill’, so to speak, and has now kindly offered to give you all the benefit of her experiences, to be your friendly guide and to assist you through the ‘maze’ that dealing with pancreatitis can so often be.

As we’ve discovered over recent months, every person’s experiences with pancreatitis and with the medical systems they encounter because of it, are very different.  It’s impossible to cover every individual situation.  However, we’ve also discovered a remarkable similarity in the nature of treatment and the responses patients have had.  With June you will have a reference point – someone who has more than likely been through similar situations as you have been facing.  Consequently, we’re sure you will find June’s articles not only to be very, very informative, but also challenging – they will make you think about what your experiences have been, how they may have differed from those of others etc.  As a consequence, it is our hope (and June’s) that you will let us know what these differences have been and how you have been able to best manage them.  Through this exchange we should then be able to build up a body of knowledge from which everyone can share and benefit.

We’re really excited about this and we hope you are too.  The first of June’s series of articles on pain management for pancreatitis will be coming soon.
