Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi, my name is Joe and I live in Whittier, CA. I recently was hopitalized with acute pancreatitis. My doctors don't know what caused since I had no gall stones, scirrosis, or high triglycerides. The only thing that can identify as the culprit was that I was taking prenivil for high blood pressure and that and that there is a very remote chance that a side effect is pancreatitis. I spent 6 days in the hospital with 4 of those days on NPO (nothing by mouth) and lost 15 pounds. I had sonograms and cat scans with no sign of any abnormalities other than the pancreatitis. I did not have any surgery. As a result of my experience and my doctors' inability to expalin my condition, I decided to find out more about my condition on my own. I am just happy that all of you have formed a network for sharing of experiences and information. I have learned quite a bit just from reading your e-mails. I plan to visit often and learn much. Tahnks again for being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
