Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hi all, I'm a new member with no definate diagnosis as yet. I have a two year history of severe upper central abdominal pain. The pain is not relieved by anything other than opiates and I have been on continuous morphine for 12 months now. The only explanation for the pain so far is from an ultrasound scan I had in March 2004. This found an enlarged head of pancreas which they say is a feature of chronic pancreatitis and also beading and tortuosity of the common bile duct which is seen in psc. I have also had some vaguely abnormal blood results where my bilirubin and amylase levels have been slightly raised. My gastroenterologist is reluctant to give me a diagnosis at present since I have had a normal CT and MRI scan since. Recently I have begun to have problems with tiredness to the point of exhaustion where I just can't keep going and also itchy skin especially at night. I would like to hear from anyone who may have had a similar experience in the early stages or anyone who has a view on whether or not my symptoms could be down to PSC. I am at a loss as to where to go from here although I am waiting to have another ultrasound scan by the same consultant who found the original signs. I would be most grateful for anyones thoughts and opinions regarding my situation and will keep you posted as to how things progress. Many thanks Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
