Monitor for abdominal pain.
The most common symptom of chronic pancreatitis is recurrent episodes of abdominal pain. This pain can occur in the upper, middle, or left side of the abdomen.

How to plan a town hall meeting on a health issue
Form a planning committee.
The idea behind a planning committee is strength in numbers. There are few issues related to health care that aren't of concern to more than one organization.

You need to identify other organizations within the community concerned with your issue, convince important members of the benefits of a town hall, and recruit them onto your planning committee. For example, if your issue of concern was childhood nutrition, some community organizations concerned with that issue might be schools, pediatricians, food banks, churches, farmers, and day cares.

How to start a good conversation
Make the person feel like you care.
You can turn a total stranger into a friend just by making him feel like you care about what he has to say and that his opinion matters to you. If the person thinks you're talking just to hear your own voice, he'll be turned off immediately.

Instead, turn your body and focus toward that person and maintain eye contact without being too intense. Give the person enough personal space, but show that the person has your attention.

How to make yourself relax
Meditate.
One great way to relax is to. You don't need to learn complicated techniques or yoga.
A few minutes of simple meditation every day can help release tension and anxiety. The key to effective meditation is to find a quiet spot away from distractions.
