Along with and necrotizing pancreatitis, I also have thrombosis, and blockages to my heart in the Splenic vein/artery. I suffer from severe numbness in my face, especially in the mornings..
when I was hospitalized, the VA used chemicals to break the clots in the veins and arteries to my heart. They cannot do surgeries because of the disease is bad, I bleed internally if they touch anything near the pancreas. I get really weak on bad days and very numb in my face and limbs. All of this info says it can lead to a stroke if the thrombosis is bad enough, with the numbness. These are on appeal, and still don't have the BVA decision. I d to tell the neurologist the numbness is getting worse. I don't have a GI follow up for a few more months. They are suppose to cat scan the area e months because of disease. Bu I move from the Southwest Pacific Northwest, the VA changed my appointments to 1/2 of what the surgeons told them I needed.
I have a very hard time walking more then a few minutes, or hot weather, doing easy tasks, too hard to clean around the house, hard to garden. I try, I try to keep busy. The Summer weather just wipes me out, but I can enjoy cold weather. My body doesn't suffer as much when I am cool or cold. If anyone feels any of these symptoms, let them know, at least it will be part of your medical records. I tried telling them time is not on m side, but it not help speed up any claims. They just don't care if you are in horrible health in the claims process. These diseases are in my records. I know I did pit this in the appeal threads. But, for those that are still in the claims process, the info might you.
