Re: drugs that cause pancreatitis

[Guest guest]

Thank you to Kaye and Heidi for the info about drugs that cause

pancreatitis, I will do some futher research!

I also have another question, has anyone heard about the link between

pancreatitis and autoimmune disease?

We have in our family alot of Autoimmune problems, I did mention this

to my DR, but he brushed it off as being not a big deal and that it

was rare for a person to get autoimmune pacreatitis. Has anyone out

there been diagnosed with autoimmune pancreatitis?

Hope that everyone is having a relatively pain free day!

-Helen,

From every Dr. I have talked to..once the pancreas is removed (as I

am going to have the surgery in Oct.) that the immune system is

compromised. Susceptibility to viruses increases as well as the

possibility of food allergies and rheumatoid arthritis. Not too

worried about the arthritis as I already have it. I'll ask around

about autoimmune pancreatitis but seems to me that oncew the immune

system is compromised then infections and inflammation of organs is

very likely.

Peace,

Helen,

I was given the diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis

for a total of about two weeks. My ANA was extremely

elevated and they noticed that almost every time I

have been in the hospital my ANA was elevated and I

also had a mysterious rash. The placed me on

prednisone, but I didn't get better. My doctor sent

me to UofU to find out if it was automimmune for sure,

but they don't believe it exists and they changed my

diagnosis back to idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.
