anemia/symptoms after ERCP

Hello!
I had an ERCP in May.  The Dr. cut both sphincters (pancreatic and gall bladder)because both were really tight and thick.
My symptoms were relieved for about a month.  However, recently, it seems like all my pre-ERCP symptoms (nausea, crampiness, diarrhea) are returning.  I developed pancreatitis and bleeding from the area the cuts were made immediately after the ERCP.  
Now, I have developed anemia...and the iron pills are making me sick.  
Has anyone experienced something similar to this?  
I'm supposed to go back to my Dr. but not for another 2 months.  I'd appreciate any advice anyone could give me!!
