Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Hi! I have been feeling well, so have not posted lately - sorry. I also have pancreas divisum, but so far, no dr. has said my pancreatitis is associated with it. I have " idiopathic pancreatitis " according to all the " experts. " I am diagnosed with " recurring acute pancreatitis. " I have not gotten to cp, yet. My dr. says I won't. How does he know? I have gotten pancreatitis and was hospitalized Dec. 2000, June, Oct, Nov 2001. Everytime, I am lucky that I am in the hospital 5 days or less with levels starting in the several thousands. I have been evaluated and had ERCPs with Dr. Lehman at IU Med Center July 2001 and Dr.Nyugen at Mayo's in sdale February 2001, with no luck. I went to Mayo's in MINN in 1994. After a battery of tests there, I was told " it was in my head " and just a muscle problem and to use a heat lamp!!! Questions; Will my pancreatits eventually turn into CP? Is there anyway to know if my pancreas divisum is causing my pancreatitis? How come sometimes I feel great and then pancreatitis hits me out of the blue? I know I should be asking the drs. these questions - but as you read above - I have already asked and get no answers. Thanks for all the support.
