Re: Rash related to pancreatitis?

[Guest guest]

, Don't take this as written in stone but I think I recall

reading somewhere that a rash can be caused by the upset of

bile salts and the liver so maybe it's possible that it's connected

somehow to your pancrease flare up. I'd as my doctor for more

information on this if I were you.

I have a rash constantly, I have read that many with hereditary

pancreatitis have chronic rashes.

When things first started out, right before each attact, I would

break out in the oddest rash. It would start in my left hand then

go up my right neck and to the right side of my face and into my

eye. It was an unslightly rash and quite obvious. It would swell

my eye shut. It would burn and itch like the devil. No body could

figure out what caused it or how to alleviate it. So we just let

nature run its course, several times. I have not had this rash

since before the sphincteroplasty in October.

I dont know, maybe it was bile salts, maybe a cortosol reaction or

maybe it was just the fear and anxiety that I felt. Anyway I have

not had it in some time, thank goodness. I have other things to

worry about now...lol.

HOpe this helps in some small way, our bodies do react to what is

going on within it, defense mechanisms and such are still unknown to

science. I'm sure there is a lot we could teach them, if they would

listen.

Warmly,
