Appendicitis?

I'm curious who out there has had their appendix removed? I've been in the middle of huge ordeal for the last two weeks, and I've learned some interesting new things.

Has anyone heard of 'Chronic Appendicitis'? My Army doctor referred me out to a German doctor after I'd been having severe abdominal pain for the last two weeks. An ultrasound showed that there was some inflammation, but appendicitis was ruled out. I saw another German doctor Friday, and he said I had appendicitis from elevated WBC and ultra sound. I went to the ER, and the nurse saw my chart and yelled at me that it was impossible for me to have appendicitis, because it's been two weeks.

I talked to MY doctor in the states and he suggested Chronic Appendicitis. I then do some family research and find out that my grandmother, mother, one aunt, and a cousin have all had similar situations...appendectomy after extended period of symptoms. To make things all the more wierd, two of my cousins and I were all in ER's on Friday with similar problems. One was diagnosed with Gall Bladder disease (I've had mine out), the other with appendicitis, me...still undecided.

I've found a lot of info about it online, but I'm just curious to see what others have experienced?
