Thanks for your feedback! The thing that threw me for a loop is when I first started to have the pain my lipase was doubled...then just remained elevated. I had my gallbladder looked at, it was clear. So confused! What symptoms did your friend have? Thanks again-part of me is definately stressed due to losing my dad over pancancer
doesnt sound like pancreatitis to me,,,sounds like you have gastro issues,and your nerves are getting your body to think it has pancreatitis!!,,anotherwards,you have to put that out of your mind.,,and some of the issues will subside!!,,i know
see,i have gerd,and i also have a good friend who actualy has chronic pancreatitis from alcohol abuse...well,listening to him,and thinking of my similar (but different) pains,,,i started to convence yself i too had pancreas issues from drinking and got myself all worked up,,i started feeling alot worse and was just a mess!!!!!
dozens of tests and onths have passed and now i have accepted i created this crazy thought about my budies problem into my own!!!
....believe me if you truly had pancreatitis especialy in the chronic reoccuring form,,,YOU WOULD REALLLLLYYY KNOW!!
the elevated lipase could be from slight gallbladder issues too.
..i incourage you to look at the stress/anxiety forum and you would be suprised how fast you can right off your other "symptoms" to these streefull thoughts!!...so relax,and try to put your find somewhere other the PANCREATITIS!!
