I was diagnosed w/ Pancreatitus after a blood clot went to my kidney after I had a knee replacement done in Oct. of 2002. I was dieing and the doctors found it while working on me. I have never drank alcohol in my life. The cause for pancreatitus was never determined. I was in the hospital for six weeks. I was fed through a tube for a month. While in the hospital, I got a staph germ twice. I had to have Cat scans done every two months to see if the pseudo-cyst had shrunk. This went on for about six months. I finally quit going. I don\'t know if the pseudo-cyst is still there or not. I don\'t think I\'ve had any more attacks. I never really knew what the symptoms were because I didn\'t know I had Pancreatitus. I had my Gall Bladder removed about five years before I had my knee replacement. I was 64 years old at the time all this happened. I believe God healed me. I know he brought me back when I was so near death in ICU. I am almost 68 years old now. May God be with you all and may your healing come soon.
