Mesenteric Panniculitis or Sclerosing Mesenteritis

I was told two weeks ago that a CT scan without contrast done in the ER when I was there for apparent food poisoning and dehydration showed Mesenteric Panniculitis. A radiology note recommended follow up testing. I have appointment with PCP in a few more weeks. Found this discussion when looking for more info on the subject. Trying not to get too overwhelmed, so I haven’t read all the posts here yet. The acute situation has subsided especially since finishing the round of flagyl. Still having an aversion to most foods and sporadic epigastric pain and abdominal tenderness. Bowels still not normal. Extremely fatigued but back to work. I have had a long personal and family history of various autoimmune-type symptoms and diagnoses. And looking back a lot of my various health issues that I have basically just “lived with” for my 55 years could possibly be related. I want to be proactive but not overreactive. Guess I may know more in a few weeks after further testing.

I feel your frustration. I am right there with you. I recently had the colonoscopy done to verify there was no underlying issues there causing it. All was good. My ANA blood work came back positive with inflammation so I am waiting to see what other tests the dr. wants to do to try and narrow down a more specific autoimmune disease. Other wise we are thinking that all the lithotripsy's Ive had on Kidneys is the cause however the last one I had was in June. Hang in there.
