Living with pancreatitis is hard. Having people around who make the effort to understand and show up for you makes a real difference. Share this with someone who has been in your corner, and add something you've received from your support systems in the comments. 💙

Last week, our board met for our 2026 annual meeting, a chance to reflect on how far we've come and chart the path ahead. We're at a pivotal moment, with growing momentum across pancreatitis research and patient programs. Grateful for the leaders helping guide this work forward.

When you've had a pancreatitis flare or attack, can you get your lipase or amylase drawn without waiting for a new doctor's order, or did you need to go back to your care team first? Drop YES, NO, or NOT SURE below 💙👇

Flares don't check your schedule. Fatigue doesn't wait for a convenient time. It's okay if today looks different than planned. Be kind to yourself 💙

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈 Inclusive healthcare means creating environments where every patient feels respected, heard, and empowered to seek care. We're proud to support LGBTQ members of the pancreatitis community and remain committed to advancing care that works for everyone.💙

Living with pancreatitis can mean holding a lot of mixed feelings at once, sometimes all on the same day. There's no "right" way to feel. It’s a bit like learning to surf the rough waves! Which one resonates the most? Or, you can also share your own mixed bunch👇💙

Some days, just getting through is enough. But if you've found something that helps, a small reset, a comfort, a routine, a ritual, a prayer, we'd love to hear it. What do you do to recharge on or after hard days? 👇💙

#MondayMotivation: Mondays can come with pressure to “reset” or “catch up.” But with pancreatitis, some weeks start with symptoms, fatigue, appointments, or just trying to feel okay. If today is a “keep it simple” day, you’re not failing, you’re listening to your body. 💙
