Nonetheless I have suffered many long term effects which have significantly reduced my quality of life.
Most recently my pancreas has given out. First it was only the part that produces digestive enzymes. Now it is the entire organ, and I have been diagnosed with Type 3c diabetes.
I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this.
