I am a 66 y old woman. With MP. Diagnosed end of 2017 from keyhole examination, after CT scan showed thickening around the bowel Messentry, went on steroids for 4 mths, but due to their effect on my bone density had to come off. Am still on tomoxefen, indefinitely. My symptoms were pain in stomach and cramps. I am not too bad at present, although last month I had a month of bad cramps. I am under a gastrointestinal specialist in Aussi. I get really tired if I do too much bending / gardening etc, so have to pace myself. Some say this condition can just go away....I’m hoping for that,...for you too !

I had a laparoscopy which seems to be the same thing as a keyhole exam. During the procedure they saw the thickening but did not diagnose me. I as well had a CT scan that showed thickening around the bowel Mesentery. My symptoms are cramping in the abdomen as well. Not sure why I couldn’t get a diagnosis! One thing that seems different with me is I have bilateral pleural effusions with unknown cause. Has anyone else had this? Thank you for the feedback!
