Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hi to everyone! I have a question. My lipase levels haven't been normal since Aug 2003. They've been as high as 3000 and last they checked they were around 780 (2 weeks ago). I've been diagnosed with pancreatic divisum. And i've been admitted to the hospital with pancreatic attacks 7 times since Aug. But on CT scans my pancreas looks normal. And on my ERCP it looked normal, but that i had divisum. Am I going insane? Why do i feel so much pain everyday if my pancreas is normal, but has divisum. I know there is so much mixed literature on whether divisum causes pancreatitis. But if I had pancreatitis wouldn't my pancreas show damage? I'm a nurse so I feel so stupid that i don't know what is wrong with me. On my last admission my doc admitted me for chronic pancreatitis. But I don't know if that's what i have. I'm going to Toronto to get a stent placed in about 3 weeks. I'm just so frustrated with being ill. I'm supposed to start work back on Friday, but i'm so scared since i feel like crap. I feel nausea everyday, have chronic direaha (I also have IBS)and I have to take morphine to sleep. I just feel lost and wish i knew what was going wrong with me. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
