I had a patient who developed pancreatitis while on Intralipid. The severe stomach and back pain were unbearable. We had to stop the treatment immediately and monitor closely for any signs of infection.

This thread reminds me of the time I had to deal with a liver problem from a previous medication. It was a nightmare. Please be cautious and listen to your body.

I've had a few patients with high blood sugar symptoms like confusion, feeling sleepy, and unusual thirst. We had to stop the Intralipid treatment temporarily and monitor their blood sugar levels closely.

Pain and irritation at the injection site is common. Make sure to apply a gentle topical cream or cold compress if it happens. It should have a positive effect on dealing with irritation.
