Pancreatic enzymes NORMAL now!! Woo Hoo! Apparently, it was the Lipitor
I had repeat labs done after having abnormally high pancreatic enzyme levels and stopping Lipitor. My labs are all WNL, so it wasn't Pancreatitis (didn't really think it was) and it was a side effect of the Lipitor. I am now down another pill! This is unbelievable how many meds I was on before and how few I am taking now. I am loving this second chance that I've been given.
I am still to have an ultrasound of my liver and abdomen, just to rule things out.
My next surgeon visit is on my one year anniversary of 9/25/2013. He says I am doing great! I think so, too...:)

Yay (on both counts)! I didn't think it was pancreatitis without debilitating pain, either, but you never know! I had read that some medications could cause high enzyme levels, but never read anything about which ones they were since I knew it wasn't either of the two things that I take
