Helen,

As usual, you are full of wonderful info. I can always count on this great place to come and feel welcome.

My sed rate was 66, so I guess that is a bit high, if the normal is around 20. The doc did mention that it means "internal inflammation" - but then right away he said, "so it must not be adhesions" ?????

He wants to see me again next week, and from there we will decide whether or not he will try and tackle this mystery himself, or send me to a specialist of some type. He tried to get me into a gastro he likes, but the wait time was very long. He may decide to order an ERCP, just to check bilary ducts and pancreas one more time.

I KNOW there is inflammation going on - I can feel it! every once in a while it feels like the alien is trying to pop out from under my ribs - it is so frustrating.

Right now just trying to stay calm, and keep from preventing any more panic attacks.

Thanks again to you Helen, and all of you wonderful folks here.
