Mesenteric Panniculitis and Sclerosing Mesenteritis: Let's connect
Digestive Health | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (1599)Comment receiving replies
Hi Bill.
I had a nasty bout with mesentery penniculitis and I am still recovering from it. I had not heard of it until yesterday. I thought it was diverticulitis, but it wasn’t. It came out of left field on Tuesday & by Thursday I couldn’t sit up or walk without doubling over in excruciating pain. Two CT scans, 5 IVs & a morphine drip later (did not kill the pain), they told me what it was. I would love to know what your expert has been with this disease & what you are doing to keep the flare up’s at bay.
Thx - Lorna

@lph714 since this is rare there’s not much known. I believe there’s many more with MP. Doctors don’t know to look for it. I’ve been reading that many people taking GLP1’s are being diagnosed with MP. The symptoms mimic other problems. This is growing and hopefully we can have more answers. There is no cure. There probably won’t be, just more medication. My last flare had me very nauseous, a fever and fatigue that lasted over a week. I followed a low residue (low fat) diet. It helped.

Hi @lph714, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! You have had a rough week getting smacked with mesenteric penniculitis and I imagine you are waiting for your brain to catch up with what has happened. I understand your motivation to do all you can to avoid future flares.
You have found a group that understands your experience and may have good information to share beyond what is shared to date. You may want to go back (if you haven’t already) and review what others have been discussing:
