Default pancreatitis from MS meds?

I have been having a tummy issue for months now. I havent stopped whining. The MS guys said it was the MS hug, maybe. The surgeon guy said my intestine keeps flipping back and forth. The GI guy said it is irritible bowel. I have flairs and remissions and its been awful. it can be extremely painful.

Last night had a huge flair, and went the the ER, so we could finally get a picture or CT during the storm. It turns out to be flairs of pancreatitis, and it showed on CT as inflammation, and my LFTs were up. The ER MD is convinced that after looking at my list of meds, the copaxone is keeping this stirred up.

I cant begin to describe just how sick I was last night. We have searched long and hard for why this keeps happening. The big girl MS center is going to make me the topic of discussion for the weekly meeting tomorrow. One of the MDs wants me to keep taking copaxone, even if it is the root cause.

Has anyone else ever heard of this? I have not seen it in any research that copaxone can "cause" this, but from what I understand it can keep it unhappy. Im tired of being this intense level of sick. Something has to give. even if its dropping the needles, and going to CAM.
