Mesenteric Panniculitis or Sclerosing Mesenteritis

I have to ask with having sclerosing mesenteritis, don't you need a biopsy to confirm that is what you have, not to mention what stage it is in? Also is it normal for people with this to constantly be tired. Most days I can barely do anything and when I do have energy, its to the point that just washing dishes for 10 minutes is enough for me to have to go lay back down. Not to mention I have had swollen lymph nodes in the base of the mesentery as well as in my chest, arm pit and groin. Is all this normal for that disease?

Hi Daniel, Von is right about the fatigue that I have been dealing with. I think we are going thru this, albeit, at different levels. I, for instance, was exactly in your shoes. Doing dishes for 10 minutes (and taking breaks in between) still took all of the energy out of me. I found that prioritizing my chores helped me a lot. And if I can only get them done then I feel I have accomplished something. Like Von also said I have surgery on the 15th. After they remove the abdominal mass and pathology it we will know more and hopefully they will be able to treat it. I will keep you informed.
