Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hi Terry; I'm sorry to hear about your dreadful pain and trip to the ER. It could be related to your gallbladder or other organs connected to biliary tree (for example pancreas)? One cause of the pain might be a gallstone, or a bile stone. But the only persons that could diagnose this for sure would your doctors based on careful examination and analysis of your blood samples. I hope you get an answer soon. Best wishes, and take care.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 That's exactly what I was thinking...pancreatitis!!! Re: 1st time gone to ER Terri, It could have been Pancreatitus. I sorry if it hurt, but I know that it can be painful. It could also have been a gallstone attack. Hope your doctor can solve it for you.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I just wanted to weigh in on this. I am new to the site (today is my 1st day) and I have had this happen several times. It could be that the pain is from an infection in the bile ducts. I have had this a number of times in 2 years since being diagnosed. I then double up on the cipro and the pain goes away. My numbers usually rise as well when the pain occurs. It also goes away with the extra cipro. Good luck Steve PSC/uc 2002 In , " Haarburger " <haarby@n...> wrote: > Hey all > last night was a hectic night, I all of a sudden felt an excurtiating pain in my middle upper abdominal > area, and I could hardly work, so went to ER and put up a drip, took bloods and after 2 hours I could finally come home. > > I have had pain, but never like this this time was so different.I couldnt breath and was shacking, I normally shack but the breathing was a new. > > My dr is away and getting back tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Steve you're probably right. People w. PSC as prone to recurrent bacterial cholangitis or infection (bugs)in the bile/bile ducts. Shaking chills or rigors is a sign of infection and usually accompanied by fever. What I think happens is you develop a partial biliary drainage obstruction (ie a clogged bile drain) which then gets a little bugy and then get squirted into the bowel, or Cipro kicks in and you feel better. But let your doc know about the extra doses (patients are sometimes our best teachers). Terri - I'm not sure that you shortness of breath wasn't caused by the pain which you said was more than ever. But shortness of breath usually needs _immediate_ medical attention.
