Emotional support

[France]

Hi I have been badgering my GP since January 2024 as I have had pain under my left ribs. I have lost 2 stone since then and become extremely exhausted falling asleep after meals. I am type 2 diabetic and have pain after I have eaten. I managed to get a 2nd opinion in September and they ran some bloods. They discovered I have high amylase levels and low trypsin levels. The low trypsin means I'm not digesting food which is causing the tiredness. I've just had an ultrasound which actually hurt my stomach. What should I expect now? Sorry this is long winded I just needed to get it all out I'm a 43 female no family history and on my own with 3 children so no one to talk to, oh and I'm going through redundancy so having a rubbish time

I guess no one wants to help

Hello France. Don’t despair! It’s not that no one wants to help it’s knowing how best to help.  

It seems you’re doing all you can by badgering your GP but maybe you should make stronger representations to your surgery than badgering?
By posting on this forum you obviously believe your symptoms point to a problem with your pancreas. Have you expressed this concern and pushed for a full exploration of the area? 
You say you’ve had an ultrasound. Results are usually available within 2 weeks so the readings from that will hopefully guide your GP towards further action.  Maybe posting on here again when you get the results will enable other members to help with what to request further from your GP.

Your circumstances are incredibly stressful and my heart really goes out to you.X
