Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Are most of the members of this site chronic sufferers? I was just diagnosed with pancreatitis, but they are not sure if it is acute or chronic. I cant get to a specialist until early Jan. It is my understanding that acute is bad, but that many acute cases get better and do not come back. I am more concerned about chronic. Even then, there are treatments, right? Enzymes, possible surgeries? I am very depressed right now because I want to live for a good thirty more years and am concerned. I do not drink, and an ultrasound did not reveal any stones, just a slightly " inhomogeneous " pancreas and my lipase and amylase were elevated (lipase 4x normal). I am 31. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
