Re: Update... severe acute panc?

[Guest guest]

Hi goutbuster,

Thanks for your response. I went back to where I did read that in

cases of severe acute pancreatitis, that the dead areas of the

pancreas or the toxins that it gives off can actually cause other

organs including the kidneys, lungs and even heart to shut down. In

these cases the patient stays in the hospital awhile to maintain the

organ function, and then remove the panc or parts of it. I read this

on the USC Med center website I believe.

The back " pain " that I feel, I guess I cant really call it pain, but

its discomfort when I move a certain way, or breathe in deeply, near

the center left of my back, straight through where I originally felt

the burning discomfort on the frontside, under my left rib. Tonight I

had a mild attack of something while I was in the theater watching

" The Ring 2 " . It was one of the most bothersome type of " attacks " I

get, which is a feeling like I am just shutting down, eminating from

that area in the front of my abdomen under my rib... Kinda light

nausea, a bit of fatigue and just a feeling of total discomfort.

Another thing that happens lately, is that I feel feverish in my head

on occasion, kind of like a radiating heat up through my neck when

this occurs, but I check my temp and its usually normal.

Sorry for being so all over the place, but I have gotten to the point

where I just consider going to the ER sometimes and just living

expectant of the worse. Coming here and getting varying opinions, and

understanding how this condition affects the body will help me in the

long run.

Thanks again,

Ian
