I personally think there is a major environmental cause to

pancreatitus that just has not been discovered yet.

Poncho,

Maybe it's exposure to the state of Indiana.......lol!

You're always commenting on another new member who comes from there,

right? And I used to visit there all the time when I was married to a

Hoosier.

With love, hope and prayers,

Actually I do think it likely there is a connection. For a disease that,

other than heridity, would likely be at random, there are a lot of posters to

this

board from the " upper Midwest " . IN, IL, MI, OH, KY. or have had ties to the

Midwest.

I would also expect posters to be approximate with their states population,

this board being a national internet vanillia site. Maybe there is a

relationship between CP and a bad batch of polio vacciene, contaminated USDA

commodity

turkeys (a mainstay of the school lunch program), or exposure to basketballs,

or a combination of all three.

But, it makes little difference, if you got it you have got it and we each

have to learn to live with it as best as we can.

Best wishes, Poncho - GA
