pancreatitis

Avatar f tn Ask your doctor to do a blood test for amylase & lipase levels.
Avatar f tn Had discovered that I was having problems with my thyroid and I also had pancreatitis. I have gone on a medicine for my thyroid finally and the pancreatitis has gone. But there are still complications. I have been passing out when I stand up sit up to drive or even lay down to take a nap except for today thank the Lord. I've been experiencing blurred vision in my peripheral. I have a black floater in my right eye and I see very strange rainbow prism like colors in my eyesight.
1240683 tn?1268232755 Some other symptoms that are seemingly unrelated are widespread tendonitis, daily headaches, and fatigue). The most bothersome symptom is the fatigue. I've had lots of tests, and the gallbladder was removed in Feb, but it didn't help. The tests were extensive blood work, endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ct scan of abdomen. The only thing that has shown up is an ulcer in the ileum, low vitamin d, and low testosterone.
Avatar m tn Non-constant sharp/tugging pain in upper abdomen as well as under ribs on both sides and around to back, sleepy, near-constant but not overwhelming nausea (no vomiting), feeling of constipation, chills, significant headaches (pressure in forehead), thirsty, frequent lightheadedness and inability to concentrate, tinnitus. BMs were light brown (almost yellow) for several weeks with an oily look to them, now dark brown/solid again.
Avatar n tn Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.

Avatar m tn If that happens again go to the ER immediately because it could become severe and life threatening. They can take your amylase and lipsase levels and tell you if it is pancreatitis. It is not a good idea to eat or drink if you are having an attack since that will stimulate your pancrease more and you want it to rest.
Avatar f tn I washed my boyfriends shirt today and it was soaking wet with sweat and smelled like a bottle of ammonia had been dumped on it. He is diabetic and had pancreatitis a few years ago. He doesn’t take his diabetic medications and still drinks beer almost everyday. He always has headaches, body aches, doesn’t sleep well and sweats buckets just walking. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn im now being directed to take a gastric emptying study which i already have had done a year ago and those results were normal..my question is...is here a link between pancreatitis and bile reflux? and if so, would it not be indicative of an obstruction (due to the minor dilation) of my pancreatic duct....is there any remedies or speculation around these test results?
Avatar n tn I had hyperparathyroidism and it was my understanding that was separate from my thyroid issue. I'm not sure that is clinically correct though. Hope you get more answers.
Avatar m tn Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
Avatar n tn I have bowel movements frequently, accompanied with stomach pain and back pain as well as headaches sometimes. Often times, I have to run to the bathroom in fear of not making it. My stomach ALWAYS looks like I'm six months pregnant and my anus always itches. I make sure to not use soap around my anus, wash or wipe too hard, etc. My lower back around the sides hurt all the times, and I just cannot function like a normal human being! I am 27 and 127 pounds.
Avatar n tn t know how she got it. Ever since the pancreatitis she has been in pain just about every day (and missing quite a bit of school). It doesn't seem to make a difference as to the types of food she eats. She has tried going without milk for 4-5 days and without wheat for about a week. She was tested for food allergies also, which came back negative. The most pain she has is in her abdomen area, running horizontally from side to side and it is tender to press on.
Avatar n tn about 6 years ago began getting severe diarrhea and headaches after prolonged periods of sitting. This lasts for several days. I avoid sitting at all costs now. I work on the computer and even do that standing up now. 9 months ago after a 6 hour car ride (again with the sitting) I got severe diarrhea but this was followed by chronic abdominal pain which to this day has not subsided. With my history Gi Doc suspected chronic pancreatitis but...

Avatar n tn t really given much say in the matter, as the pancreatitis was a nasty attack and I was strongly advised to get my gallbladder out asap after it. It was a straightforward procedure, with no after effects. I can't really say I felt better, because apart from the pancreatitis incident, I never had any problems beforehand! I do sometimes suffer with the "dumping syndrome" which, whilst unpleasant, doesn't worry me too much as I believe it's normal.
Avatar f tn t seem to care about the Pneumobilia and one Dr seemed to think its normal and I might have it forever, but I am concerned especially about possible infection coming from the small bowel into the Biliary hepatic vessels and also can this air be causing the ongoing Pancreatitis?
Avatar m tn been suffering from pancreatitis and doctors thinking my gallbladder may be messed up....How common is it to have had a normal HIDA scan with no apparent stones?
Avatar m tn or it could be pancreatitis.. if you've been drinking or hitting NSAD's really hard lately..the pain is pretty high with pancreatitis and you'd be doubled over..but not always. A blood test for pancreatitis can be used if you've been drinking a lot.. either way with an ulcer i'd avoid alchohol/tylenol/asprin like the plague. That'll kill your stomach.
Avatar f tn You might have pancreatitis. That could cause all 3 symptoms, and the elevated enzymes. Other causes of your symptoms would not likely do that. Make sure your doctor checks you thoroughly for pancreatitis.
Avatar m tn Well I/we know she has a drinking problem, she has started drinking again. She said she researched and drinking Red Wine does not hurt her Pancreatitis. In my feeble attempts of research I have not found anything that supports her thought process. What scares me is she was in a Coma for about 5 weeks and came real close to death for the first week or so, the doctors didn't think she was going to live.
611067 tn?1458591483 Well, my family doctor spoke with me last night and wants to see me tonight after hours. I'm so glad she's the kind of doctor she is. She's so helpful!!! As for me, the specialist cannot do the test he wanted because my intestines (from my gastric bypass) are still too long for him (with an endoscope) to go throught he pouch into the intestines and back up into the duct area. So, he is doing an MRI instead this Friday.
Avatar f tn I am a 60 year old female who was diagnosed in the late 80s with acute pancreatitis and still have sporadic trouble today in 2014. A few weeks ago I was diagnosed with hcv and was wondering what effects I would have with the two diseases together, for instance if given treatment for my hep-c will it make my pancreas worse or will I even be able to do the hcv treatment at all?
941046 tn?1250638829 Thank you for taking the time respond to my post. You are so right about something not sounding right, I have thought that all along. I just know it's my pancreas and that they have missed something. These doctors don't have a clue. First I had acute pancreatitis, then it was gastritis, and then gallbladder disease. When I got sick after the surgery it was post-cholecystectomy syndrome, then they thought I had stones and then it was sphincter of oddi type III.
