Jan,

Not quite sure what number is " numerous " , how many do you

have? I have three pseudocysts, that was enough to qualify as

" multiple " on my records. My pseudocysts are resolving and my

GI says there is every indication that they may go completely

away. He did say though, that after having them once, there is a

predilection of having them again, so I don't really anticipate ever

being totally pseudocyst-free.

Mine used to swell frequently, but now that they are smaller they

don't seem that noticeable........and that swelled up belly isn't

leading me around the house anymore, yeah!

Once they drain yours you shouldn't have this problem anymore.

With hope and prayers,
