For your information, opiates are known to induce recurrent attacks of pancreatitis, especially if the underlying pathology is chronic. Perhaps this is why you haven't been given these medications.
Both acute and chronic pancreatitis can be medical emergencies of the first magnitude. If not already done, you should ask for a full battery of blood tests and direct visualization of the pancreas by radiographic means, as both are useful in the diagnosis of pancreatitis. If your doctors suspect this condition and such tests have not been performed, I would ask to be referred to another specialist.
In any case, I hope all goes well. I'm sure your plants are also waiting patiently for your recovery!
