At the point when I had the fluid in my lungs was when I was totally out of it. Good thing I don't remember the worst of it. I am surprised myself at all that can happen with pancreatitis. Well I had a very sever case of it though. Most people have it for a few days, a week at most.

I didn't know that going to a high altitude quickly would cause fluid in the lungs and swelling in your hands. That's scary. I'm usually afraid of heights so I doubt I would be going somewhere too high up anytime soon. I really want to go to Machu Picchu someday but I hear it's a pretty high elevation too.
