Do your pancreatic enzymes elevate if your pancreas gets mad from PN? I have had elevated Lipase several times, and once elevated Amylase, but no one seems to think I have Pancreatitis... My C-Reactive protein stays up now most of the time.

Sometimes, the Lipase is up, sometimes not-there doesn't seem to be any pattern. Sometimes I have pain in the upper left side, just under my ribcage. My Gyn doc thinks that I am all inflammed inside...

Also, does anyone know when Lipase is elevated, if that can affect the fatty coating on the nerves? I remember that it is an enzyme that acts on fats, I think, but could it act on the nerve coating and cause miserable burning pain?

This probably a dumb question, but I really am having a LOT of pain right now and am trying to figure out what is going on here...
