Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I'm not trying to say that your pancreas is what caused your pain today, but it wouldn't suprise me if it was the pancreas! Take care, W Honestly I think it was. After all these episodes of it this year, I did think it was the same pain. Good news was that my sed rates where all the way down to 26 with the prednisone this past week. That's alot better that 80 the week before!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 a, Oh No! I am so sorry. Welcome to the world of Pancreatitus! I'm still fighting to get control of my Blood sugars over this dumb disease which has progressed to Diabetes! Hang in there and get some rest!

I have had four or five, cant remember for sure, rounds of panreatitis, but I just got back from the er where I was from nine o'clock this morning until now, nine at night. The verdict is irritable bowel. weeeee just what I needed! NOT! Anyway, they gave me some new meds and I am hoping they work. a C "The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store... http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies "The LUPIES Web Page" http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html "The LUPIES online photo albums!"

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 a I agree with . Dr.s tend to believe what is only in black and white. My amylase and Lipase always come back in normal range now......but we also know the Pancrease is damaged. Now I have diabetes, which I was warned about. Hang in there. Becky Weston wrote: a C,Not trying to second guess the docs but I think a lot of times 'irritable bowel' is just a cop out for when they don't know for sure what's causing the pain. I have had MANY episodes of the exact same pain, nausea, and vomiting that goes with my verified attacks of acute panc where my panc enzymes were normal. The doctors would insist it was this, that, or the other causing my pain. Couldn't be the pancreas if panc enzymes weren't elevated. Well, the pain sure felt exactly the same to me! Of course, now that we know that I have chronic pancreatitis, I know most of those episodes WERE being caused by my pancreas. My pancreas is DAMAGED. It does not produce enzymes like a normal pancreas. I can have a very severe episode with totally normal panc enzymes! Also, many of those episodes may have been accompanied by an elevated lipase (one of the two panc enzymes) but they never bothered to check it at my local hospital because it has to be sent out and takes two days to get back. However, even when I've been at other hospitals where they did check the lipase along with the amylase, some of my worst episodes have had both a normal amylase and lipase. I'm not trying to say that your pancreas is what caused your pain today, but it wouldn't suprise me if it was the pancreas!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I'm glad to hear your feeling better, it's sucks being sick. I'm sure you'll be able to put that walker away real soon. ----- Original , I sure hope so, but we went to the park yesterday and I guess I overdid it. I feel just fine, but fell three times today. Have some new nasty bruises, but at least the migraine is gone and the new heart meds are working, so I really do think things are looking up! a C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I know, I was just trying to share how it got chilly here. Seriously though, I just pray that you guys have mild winters. Cool enough so that everyone can go outside, but not so cold that people are hurting. I promise not to rub it in this year, okay? LOL a C a C ~ I have given it some sincere thought. I think you should just pound Barb's head if that's what it is going to take. I really like her, but sometimes even the nicest people need an attitude adjustment. Not me though.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 If you keep landing on the ground you will really be looking up! I'm glad the new meds are helping you so well. That's true, but we went and changed all of our carpet to ceramic tile last year and boy are my knees sore from smacking down on them! The dr said today that he thinks it's a fact of life for now, but I will take it as long as everything else feels this good! a C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 YOU!!?? Promising not to rub it in this winter?? And when I'm done walking I'm going to look like Shania Twain!!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 a B., How about "FRAIN"? A conjunction of Frozen rain. Or, maybe, "SKY FLAKES"? I don't know, I looked it up in Webster's, and the definition of snow is a "frozen white precipitation". Now, THAT's helpful.
