Re: NORMAL LEVELS, LOTSA PAIN

[Guest guest]

I'm afraid there is no set time limit before the enzymes

stop elevating. For some, it starts quickly, for others, it

takes a long time. I know people who's enzymes have never

been elevated. It took me 30 years to have my enzymes stop

elevating. That's part of why it's so hard for doctors to

diagnose chronic pancreatitis, because it varies so much

between people and probably why Hopkin's website does

not mention how long it takes before the enzymes stop

rising.

Wish I had better news.

THANKS FOR THE INFO - I'VE GOTTEN MORE INFORMATION FROM YOU GUYS THEN HER

DOCTORS. TODAY I SPENT TIME TRYING TO EDUCATE HER PCP ONLY TO YET AGAIN BE

TOLD THAT CAN'T BE HAPPENING WITH CASSIE. THEY KEEP TRYING TO BLAME IT ON

CONSTAPATION. I'VE HAD SEVER CONSTIPATION AND THE PAIN IS NOWHERE NEAR WHERE

SHE DESCRIBES HERS. SO BASICALLY IT WAS SAME STUFF, DIFFERENT DAY. HOPEFULLY

I CAN HAVE MEANINGFUL DIOLOG WITH THE GI SHE SEES MONDAY IN BOSTON.
