"the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy, i began suffering severe gall bladder issues. after birth, i tried to tough it out, due to nursing. ten weeks later (14 weeks on) i was in pain unlike anything i&#039;d ever known! a stone had passed out of my gall bladder into the common duct shared with the pancreas, and had lodged in my pancreas - i was also suffering severe pancreatitis. agony would&#039;ve been a blessing. after trying numerous medicines that didn&#039;t touch the pain, i was given demoral. oh! my! gawd! i was in tears, because for the first time in months, i didn&#039;t feel like i was on death&#039;s door. i&#039;d forgotten what it meant to be pain - free! every few hours, beautiful nurses came, and &quot;topped me off&quot;. my &quot;con&quot;? for the first 20 minutes, i couldn&#039;t shut up!"
