The inflammatory response is part of the immune response. If you

were to have a wad of pus in your belly it would have to have some

form of source whether it were blood or lymph vessels. How else

would the pus get there, its nothing but used of white blood cells

and lymphatic fluids. It wouldhave to have an ingress and an

egress. Withthat in mind if you had a festering pus ball for 5 years

you would have a response of some source. Of course this is all just

educated guessing and I could be completely wrong.

When they realized that I no longer had a temp they couldn't ezplain

it either. I was on antib's for almost a year and had tried loads of

antiinflammatories as well and they did nothing for the panc pain.

My joints felt great however...lol. It was obvious that there was

some form of immune response going on in my body, slightly elevated

whites, low grade temp, and so on but never did they say if was from

the pancreatitis. Personally I know it was and that pancreatitis can

and does induce an immune reponse.

Like I had said in my previous post anti'bis can alleviate some of

the signs symptoms of pancreatitis but because of whatever has caused

the condition changes the organ physically, ie: ductal dilation,

fibrosis, scarring etc; they can not cure the disease no matter how

many or how long you take them. It does make for some interesting

thoughts tho.

I hope your doing well and the weather has warmed up for you. I went

to the beach yesterday for the first time in well over a year. It

was so nice and peaceful but I did get a little too much sun and am a

bit burned. I took my youngest and we just walked and dug inthe sand

and she swam some. I thought about you while Iwas there and if I had

seen any cool shells I would have picked you up some. Maybe I will

go back later this week and find something cool and I can send you a

sandy little care package. Oh and by the way, what on earth woould

ya'll do with a buffalo?

Take care and we will talk soon.
