A new GI ran blood tests never been run before and my Iron was way up and my Lipase was over 700- Dx was Severe Pancreatitis -
From reading all the posts I am not so sure - I didn't eat for 4.5 days and the next blood tests showed my Lipase back to normal.

But I have not had the severe pain that should have come with this attack..I always have stomach pain and have had upper pain for a long time just always thought it was the Crohns...but my low back was extremely painful ...after my levels went down that pain left too... so is it really pancreatitis? Could I have it but not have the agony that you all have? I know I have dealt with pain for a very long time but I would think this would have been much worse. He is convinced it is what it is ... I am very very tired...fell asleep at work today ( nobody around) but every day this week I can't keep my eyes open past 1:30 ...is that one of the symptoms too ?

Any of your experiences would be helpful ..thanks !
