Common problems?

Posted By Beth on August 26, 1998 at 23:35:58:







I am 35 yrs. old and I have Idio. Chr. Pancreatitis, Gastroparesis, and IBS.  My blood counts are very seriously out of
wack.  My pancreatitis sometimes shows itself in blood work and sometimes does not.  I have recently had a positive test for Lupus.
How common is it for these things to occur together and do you have any suggestions based on your past cases?  I am grasping at straws!
I rarely eat and when I do it is to keep away from TPN.. I am getting close to allowing them to use TPN and would like any suggestions I can get.  
I do understand these risks my LIVER has recently also been noted as functioning improperly.  I guess it might be from the pain meds.
I need to take to eat or function at all. ANY AND ALL INFORMATION you can supply me with will help at this point!  I have been told before that tube feedings were the only
way for me to live.  I have avoided that for two years with only 6 months of TPN when the Pancreas went crazy!  My enzymes elevated with water and stayed
up in the 1000's for several months.  They are down now but the pain and other symptoms live on!!! I have heard that there may be a link to other young women getting so "lucky"
to have all these problems at once.  Is this true and is there any possible places to source for a cause?
