Hi Genie
I got back a few days ago. Had a good trip. I am feeling better. So sorry that you aren't. Is your neuropathy from Diabetes? Had appointment with my GI doc. I am on Steroids for 1 more day. Had 2 month RX. Also on Creon, which is pancreatic enzymes to help me digest my food. Guess they are working because I gained 5lbs. with it. Lost 18lb total. Now we just have to wait and see if I stay ok. If I get sick again, or symptoms, I will have to be on Steroids for life. Please don't give up. I know discouragement!! Hopefully your blood work will show something this time that will help. Your grandson needs you. I am praying for you too. Louise

Hi Louise
Glad your back home & had a nice trip. I am praying for you. I am still not feeling well but am fighting this. My blood pressure is starting to elevate & I am on Losartan 25 low dose but it is on the rise. I am wondering if certain medications can cause it to go up. If it continues I will have to call my Cardiologist. I am not a diabetic & they have no idea why the lipase is going up. In a couple of weeks I go back for the repeat of the test & I hope & pray it has not gone up more. I still think my problem stems from the last surgery I had. The small bowel was injured & I had to have 2 stitches so I don't know if this has anything to do with it. All I know is that I am loaded with adhesions that can not be removed so that might be part of the problem.
Well Louise keep in touch & keep me posted.
Have a good day.
God Bless
Genie
