Guest guest Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 My brother-in-law has been suffering with this for almost a year. He got it on a trip to Hilton Head,South Carolina last July. He has been in and out of the hospital so many times I have lost track.After many tests in the hospital, they removed his gallbladder hoping it would help. It didn't.He is on an extremely limited diet of low fat, bland food and still has flares(some that require hospitalization). I hope your case is not as severe:)Beth MoormanFrom: melanie ellis <crazyhouse@...>Subject: RE: Acute Pancreatitisdominie Date: Saturday, June 21, 2008, 12:22 PM I dont know if mine is acute, but it almost killed me.it started when i took medicine that didn't agree with my system.That was January and since then i have had 3 occurances.IT is unbelievable ....worse than Fibro...M elanie> dominie > From: funny_dumplin@...> Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:22:08 +0000> Subject: Acute Pancreatitis> > Has anyone experienced acute pancreatitis?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Beth and , Thank you both for writing back - I was just curious about it because I'd never heard of it. I just knew it was a different kind of pain than I was used to having (with the fibro). The people at work don't really understand, but I have to be out sometimes. Oh well. Beth, I hope your brother-in-law will start improving. That scares me! Does your brother have fibro as well??? , how are they treating your pancreatitis? I have to have an ultrasound done this Tues. on my pancreas and my gallbladder. The Dr. thought I was having gallstones, but he said probably NOT because my liver enzymes were within " normal " range, but that my pancreas enzymes were like 389!!! (He said normal was around 264 or so)...I didn't check on that. Anyway, I'm not sure how to deal with this on top of the fibro...especially trying to work full-time. I just hate their snide remarks about me being sick. I guess I need to toughen up!!! I wasn't sure if it may have been caused by meds, something to do with fibro or what. Anyway, thank you both for responding. I appreciate your time. I hope each of you have a wonderful, pain-free day. > From: melanie ellis <crazyhouse@...> > Subject: RE: Acute Pancreatitis > dominie > Date: Saturday, June 21, 2008, 12:22 PM > > > > > > > > > #yiv1715599989 .hmmessage P > { > margin:0px;padding:0px;} > #yiv1715599989 .hmmessage > { > FONT-SIZE:10pt;FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma;} > > I dont know if mine is acute, but it almost killed me.it started when i took medicine that didn't agree with my system.That was January and since then i have had 3 occurances.IT is unbelievable ....worse than Fibro...M elanie > > > dominie > > From: funny_dumplin@... > > Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:22:08 +0000 > > Subject: Acute Pancreatitis > > > > Has anyone experienced acute pancreatitis?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I haven't had any flare ups lately.I think that i do watch my diet..i want to watch my weight.I took phenegran, and Demeral. But they gave me Morphine in the hospital. The first time this happened i was in intensive care.i was stunned. i knew i was sick , but didn't expect that. I have only had 3 or 4 episodes...Fibro fog this morning.so many things can happen due to this, i found mostly just not eating helped me most.I know thats bad , but when i ate , even low fat, i just got sick again. I just sure pray that it goes away for you and me.... > dominie > From: funny_dumplin@...> Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:55:25 +0000> Subject: Re: Acute Pancreatitis> > Beth and ,> > Thank you both for writing back - I was just curious about it because > I'd never heard of it.
