Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 In 2002 I contracted Hepatitis B, which recovered automatically. However it did some damages. It attacked pancreas and I became diabetic. I was not diabetic before. It caused some discomfort under the right ribs. Ultrasound showed that it was gas and my pancreas was not visible due to excessive gas. This gas pressure is continuing up till now. It is spread to my over all abdomen. The pancreas was visible in later tests and was okay. It has also caused arthritis problem. My liver enzymes are normal. However, antibodies are developed in response to Hepatitis B attack. This accidental scan showed that I have some gall stones also. But, I do not have any pain. The doctors say they are silent stones. One of my kidneys has also developed for the last two years a very small cyst. Does it mean that my pancreas is not functioning well as I became diabetic and is this gas pressure was due to this attack. We must consider the route cause when this problem started. When I recovered immediately from Hepatitis B why it made me diabetic. Am I in some autoimmune disease. The doctors are saying remove GB and then see if this gas pressure is still there. But, I don't agree with them, they could be wrong. We must consider the route cause from which this problem started and then suggest treatment. I would appreciate expert advice from the Honorable members on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
