You no doubt have been reading through comments by members with Mesenteric Panniculitis continue testing. I am glad you are making progress about the upper abdominal pain. It sounds like your doctor is ruling out a lot and hopes to know more in a few days.

I can relate to your trying to find peace in middle of not knowing. I am a patient at Mayo Clinic where I was told they knew what was happening but weren’t sure what to do about it. It would be about protecting my heart, then taking one symptom at a time. I bought into that process and together, we are making progress. One doctor told me it would be a marathon. That…..was 4 years ago (I think, time blurs after a while).

You mention a liver scan scheduled for this coming week. I am not sure if you mean perhaps an MRI or an ultrasound. Regardless, you can get a head start on addressing fatty liver and perhaps reduce some of the stress you are feeling by focusing on what you can do. I imagine what is good for fatty liver will be good for anything your doctor(s) ends up talking to you about.
- Eat a healthy diet
- Limit alcohol, simple sugars and portion sizes.
- Keep a healthy weight
- Exercise. Be active
- Don’t smoke

I am interested to hear how your next test goes and to hear what your doctor tells you this week.
