Pancreatitus. , this is what we were looking for!!!!!!! Anyway ,

He feels I am suffering from CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and wants me

seen by another Rhuemy. He is attesting all my rashes, joint swelling,

pain and tiredness to this. , have you found any other

Becky,

I have not found any connection between my lupus and pancreatitis. My

rheumie said that since they found problems with my bile duct (sludge in the

bile duct and a malfunctioning sphincter of oddi) it is unlikely that my

pancreatitis was related to lupus. I am so glad you actually found a gi that

is trying to get to the bottom of all this. Good luck.

it seems they are doing something I think that is the hardest part for me is

I have no answers or does it seem like they are looking any more.. I get sick

so easy I mean this sinus infection has keep me down for over 2 weeks and the

other day I am not sure weather I had a reaction to one of the meds or a

start of an attack.. but I am glad that you are getting some answers and

things keep going your way and they help you with your pain.... good luck

Wishing you all a pain free day

Hello All!

As most of you know I had a Dr. appoinment on Friday with a new

Gastro! It went better than I hoped it would! We think we may know

what is finally going on with me! Thank you Lord!!!!!

I was seen at Fort Wayne Luthern by a Dr. Scheible. And here is

what we have come up with so far. I am having tests run this week.

He believes I am suffering from Mal Absorption disorder. Does

anyone else have this? This is why my hair is falling out and why I am

unable to retain my iron level.ect.........

#2) He is labeling my Pancreatitus as Auto Immune Disorder

Pancreatitus. , this is what we were looking for!!!!!!! Anyway ,

He feels I am suffering from CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and wants me

seen by another Rhuemy. He is attesting all my rashes, joint swelling,

pain and tiredness to this. , have you found any other

correlations to your Lupus? I told him about how we were trying to

figure this out!!

#3) I am having a CAT Scan done on Wednesday to look for the

psuedocysts that were there last time. He was not impressed that they

have not been followed up on. He is concerned about cancer or tumors

developing

#4) Back in December of 1999 when I had my car accident, as most of you

kow I hit the steering wheel and did considerable damage to my chest

area. Well the Dr thinks that I have damaged my thymus gland and this

is also contributing to my immune problems as well.

This is what I know so far. Like I said he is running tests this

week and will get back to me as soon as the results are in. I hope to

have good news for you soon!

Terri,

Thank you so much! I am happy that I am finally getting answers!

But I feel guilty for all those who are still getting the "blank stares".

I will keep you informed!
