Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi Margaret, I think I replied to your sister about a good doctor in LA. I told her about Dr. Lo at Cedars Sinai. Welcome to the group, although I wish you didn't have this illness and need us. We are here for you if you have any questions just ask and one of us will get back to you as soon as we can.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Margaret, I just wanted to welcome you to the group. I didn't get a chance to welcome personally as I was offline at the time she joined, but since I'm hear when you are, I wanted to make sure I welcomed you (and give your sister a much belated Welcome too!). Feel free to asky any questions you have (there are no dumb questions here). Look forward to hearing more from you and your sister. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Margaret, Welcome to our group. While I'm sorry to hear the reasons for your interest in the group, your sister gave you some good advice by sending you here. Since you and are both sufferer's, at least there's no doubt as to the cause of your disease. In that small way you are fortunate, to know that it is heriditary, it will save you the anguish of having to go through the whole maze of tests that some people have to to determine the cause of their pancreatitis. Having your sister there for support and understanding will also be helpful for you. Are there any other members of your family, i.e; aunts, uncles or grandparents, etc. that have this disease? I hope that you've found a good, supportive GI who is able to help you with your treatment. If you have any questions for us, bring them on! We're here to help you in any way that we can. With hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H. Griffeth South Carolina SC & SE Regional Rep. PAI, Intl.
