Hello,
Over the last 12 months I've been unwell. Diherea, malabsorption, gurgling stomach, tiredness, sometimes sickness, a fever, and upper abdominal and rib pain, tachycardia.
I've had a lot checked. At times my globulin has been raised but it has gone down since just still not in the normal range.
They've checked for acute pancreatitis via bloods but these were in the normal range. Also an abdominal ultrasound and pelvic which showed everything is OK. Would an abdominal ultrasound show the pancreas as OK even in chronic pancreatitis?
They've sent off a gut hormone fasting blood test as well as a stool test to check the pancreas, would these be normal in chronic pancreatitis? It's really confusing, and I'm do confused to be honest.
The rib pain is hell and I'm trying to get through it but it's very depressing. The doctors think it's costochondritis but I also get belly pain. Looking online I can't find really any info on where the pin is for chronic pancreatitis other than left side of the abdomin.
I'm mostly asking if the ultrasound would be able to tell? I have an appointment tomorrow, so if you guys can let me know your experience with this I'll be able to discuss them with my doctor and maybe go from there. Hopefully the other samples will be back by then too.
I'm not sure if I've had acute attacks before too, but did have a few times where I couldn't walk, vomiting loads, diherea, etc lasting for months, but was always told it was flu.
Thanks
