Avatar m tn AASLD is an organization of liver disease specialists who publish annual treatment guidelines. Google AASLD 2009 hepatitis C treatment guidelines to find a copy. The mouth sores are a sign that the main drug, interferon, is reducing his white blood cell level. There are medications to counteract that but they are very very expensive and that may have had a role in their decision.
Avatar f tn I am on my 4th gastroenterologist and all of them agree that i do not have chronic pancreatitis. I have been tested for automimmune pancreatitis and I do not have it....
Avatar f tn In February I had an amylase level of 170, then in March it went up to 179. So they did a cat scan and ruled out pancreatitis. I have no gall bladder, no pain anywhere, and the liver is fine. NOW IN APRIL the amylase level is 189 and the lipase test is 59. My gastro doctor said he isn't concern and he would retest my blood count in July. OK???? Isn't blood work done to alert doctors there is a problem.
1067109 tn?1258330364 t posted much lately as finances have resulted in no inet at home. I began a telapravir trial on Jan 9, 2009 and was taken off after 34-weeks because I got too sick, ended up with Pancreatitis and blah blah blah. I am now almost 4-months post treatment and am still UND even after having treatment stopped early. These new protease inhibitors are awsome as most of us already know. The nurse said that if I am still UND on my next draw in 2-months they are going to consider me cured.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis in July 1999. I have had many pancreatitic episodes. The last one being May 2009. I have been through hell and back. I am still having a lot of problems with this disease. I was hospitalized in July 2009 for a week and had a J-G tube placed on Sept 14th and ended up being admitted again on Sept 15th due to complications from being so dehydrated. I am now faced with needing the Whipple procedure something I have not been wanting to have.
1067109 tn?1258330364 Just wanted y'all to know that I have been inactive on here for several months now due to no inet at home. However, good news is forthcoming. My treatment with the telapravir trial ended after 8-month with pancreatitis in August 2009. I got a call from my doc this week telling me I'm still negative after all this time. I'm ecstatic. I don't care if it is Telepravir or Bocepravir, it is all some really good S_ _ T.

Avatar f tn New guidelines released few years back provide some confirmation for the approximately over half a million U.S. pregnant women who have epilepsy. About three to five of every 1,000 births in the USA are to women with epilepsy. The guidelines, developed by the American Academy of Neurology and the American Epilepsy Society and published in the journal Neurology, show that pregnancy is relatively safe for such women as long as they take certain precautions if possible.
1453990 tn?1329231426 I was looking in the health pages, and I noticed that there was a 2003 Protocol and a comparison of the 2003, 2006 and 2009 protocols, but I did not see a copy of the 2009 MS Centers MRI Protocol for the Diagnosis and Followup of MS. So I posted one. We often talk about the MRI MS protocol, so I figured some folks might want to see what is actually in it.

1166735 tn?1263475353 I have been having severe pain attacks requiring hospitalisation for strong analgesia IVT and anti-emetics...totalling 3 admissions since Xmas 2009. The last admission was last month while I was on holiday in the UK. While I was there I also had a private consultation with a gastroenteroligist at my local hospital. The conclusion of the meeting the doctor had said that I should really have an ERCP +/- sphincterotomy.
Avatar f tn Since around May of 2009 I have developed a severe epigastric abdominal pain. How it works is that about 92% of the times that I eat (no matter what it is) I get an acute onset of pain that can last from 15 minutes to 4 hours of terrible pain. It got so bad that I mentaly told myself that food was the cause of pain so I didn't eat for 3 months causing severe weight loss, depression, lethargy, etc. Rarely vomiting occured.
Avatar n tn Things that can cause it are an obstruction of the biliary tree, which can be due to stones, tumors (usually of either the papilla of Vater or the pancreas), benign strictures (due to chronic pancreatitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis), benign stenosis of the papilla (ie, papillary stenosis), or a papillary diverticulum. Basically, when bile can't pass through, the duct becomes distended. So, an obstruction is likely causing it.
1391707 tn?1280011434 I had my gallbladder removed on February 9th of 2009 and my procedure was done by Laparoscopic. The doctor did an ultrasound and found that I had gallstones and Pancreatitis. This morning, I was feeling great, and then I had this sharp pain in my back and chest at the same time. Does anyone know what this is?
1529270 tn?1291859561 In 2002, I had an acute pancreatitis attack and was hospitalized for 4 days. I was going through a rough divorce and was drinking too much. I abstained for 6 months and have not had a recurrence since that time. In Sept 2009, I was dx with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. In May 2010, I had laparoscopic Nissen fundoplasty for my GERD which may have contributed to my IPF (I was dx with ulcers in my early 20's).

Avatar f tn The second visit to the hospital they found a stone in my Gallbladder, I had the gallbladder removed 9/1/2009. It was enflamed, diseased and my stone was 2cm. March 7, 2010 I had another attack and was referred to a specialist who diagnosed me with SOD. He said all along I was probably having pancreatitis. From March 7th until April 21, 2010 I was having tremendous digestive problems, pancreatitis and lost 25 lbs. On April 21st I had a sphincterotomy.
