Many congenital brain defects cause minor neurological impairment. People with these types of congenital brain defects can grow to function independently. Other defects are so severe that they are fatal before or shortly after birth. Some cause significant disabilities.
I am looking into this for a friend as well. The pancreas deals with digestive juices and insulin. Have a look at your medications to see if they may have gastrointestinal effects. I can tell you that Tramadol does affect the production of enzymes in the intestine.
There are two types of pancreatitis, chronic and acute. Both refer to inflammation of the pancreas, a gland that produces digestive enzymes -- which the body uses to metabolize carbohydrates and fats -- and the hormone insulin. The symptoms of acute pancreatitis are typically severe and need to be treated. If they aren't, you may develop complications like pancreatic cysts, abscesses, and leaks of pancreatic fluid into the abdomen, which can lead to other long-term problems or even death.
