An update re: burn-out and night sweats

[Guest guest]

My follow-up appointment was yesterday and I just wanted to

report that the labs that were taken when I was having my last

psducocyst flare-up were: amylase 42, and lipase 30. This is

the first confirmation of very low A & L readings since my

pancreas burn-out.

I have to go back in two weeks for yet another lab test, another

CBC, an IGE and a GMP. I need to look up the last two tests to

see what they actually are. My GI and Internal Medicine doctor is

still trying to uncover the cause of my nightly horrendous night

sweats. He's threatening now to admit me into the hospital

overnight with an Endo and an Infectious Disease Specialist to

get to the bottom of this, since it's been causing me so much

sleep deprivation that I'm falling asleep anywhere and

everywhere at the drop of a hat.....I even fell asleep in his

examining room yesterday while waiting for him.

That's really all my news. I've been having a bit of a rough few

days with some pain, but nothing that my meds can't handle. I

ran out of antioxidants last week and am waiting on my reorder,

which should arrive today. My increase in pain seems to

coincide with the failure to take the daily pancreatic antioxidants,

so that strengthens my belief that they're working for me.

With hope and prayers,
