Pancreatitis and thyroid
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and thyroid
pancreatitis
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.
Okay I am aware this is a diabetes forum, but the thyroid ask a doctor forum is full, like they usually are.. and am seeking advice..
I was wondering, because a friend of mine has shown symptoms of hyperthyroidism, after I had done some research, and I plan on urging them to get this checked out. I also know that this person's father has pancreatitis. I read that thyroid disorders can be hereditary.
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.
Do you think that this has anything to do with the possible hyperthyroidism, the association between pancreatitis and thyroid disorders? I can't find much about it. And are thyroid disorders linked with diabetes? Is pancreatitis linked with diabetes as well?
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
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.
Ask what is happening and is this from gallstones and do you have pancreatitis and if so, what can you do and what can you expect. http://www.ddc.musc.edu/public/problems/diseases/pancreas/pancreatitisChronic.cfm
I hope this finds you already seen by your endocrinologist and feeling better.
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.
I have anxiety which I battle EVERY Sunday and other circumstances. I have had pancreatitis in 2010 ( I do NOT drink and I DON'T have a gallbladder) and was hospitalized for 15 days. Two days I was in CCU. I lost my hair, which thankfully came back but a much lighter color and more grey. I am now a diabetic, a shot before meals and before bed. Could this be a result of the thyroid condition? If so, what I am up against in the future?
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.
But i have pain in my abdomen right side upper and near liver, pain moves one to another place. It is really frustrated for the pain all time, i am also hypothyriod patients, please help me , i m doing my walk regularly....
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?
Since then I have had my gallbladder removed, I have cronic pancreatitis and have not yet been able to regulate my Synthroid. I have an Internal Med Dr. that seems very concerned but the Endo des not. I have had regular blood test. This past year my labs are showing Thyroglobulin AB present, in the first of the year they were low .5 now they are 24.6. I was always told that since I do not have a Thyroid I should not produce any if not little.
lack of appetite due to gastritis,pancreatitis,gallbladder attacks these are some of the reasons why I have lost weight when I was not trying. All pertaining to the digestive system and it could be many more reason. Including having a serious illness.

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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
at that time I tried to reduce fats, take protonix daily (also have to take Excedrin almost daily for Migraines- another story) but symptoms now waking me up at night. abd pain rad to back too, Hida scan ef 22%. I had been seeing my surgeon for follow up (thyroid and breast cysts/biopsies -benign) and GB became priority now. So I relented and surery was scheduled.
3rd day post-op finally being discharged(of a same day procedure) surgeon assures me nausea will resolve by next week.
