Hello all, I am a 30 yo with a new diagnosis of MP. I wasn't even told the results of my CT scan that had been done in the ER until I asked for a copy of the results and read the line for myself. It said mild induration around the superior mesentaric artery representing in mesenteric panniculitis. After reading that I asked one for the doctors I work with what that meant (because I work in the hospital as a Patient care tech) and he told me to follow up with GI (appt jan 28th). A little bit to my history, I was pretty healthy until about 3 years ago when I had my first attack of acute pancreatitis. It was a shock to me because I didnt fit the mold for someone who gets pancreatitis at 27. I ended up having it 5 more times after in the span of about 5 months. Each time being hospitalized for a week of NPO and iv fluids and pain meds. It was terrible. I had a sphincterotomy in March last year 2019 and I keep getting the same pains. I have seen many doctors and have been told "it's in my head!" I have given up hope until the recent findings on the CT. It was found incidentally because I thought it was a kidney stone. I also what told I have steatosis and fibrosis of the liver. I had my gallbladder removed after the first episode of pancreatitis. I have dealt with so much abd pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea and excessive gas. I dont do much but work because as soon as I go the pain starts. I came across this thread and have been reading your posts for about 2 hours now and feeling a little less alone with each post. I'm sorry for such a long rant but it's been building for quite sometime now. Not such where to go from here....
