Dominie's Survey Re: Alcohol? Carlene

[Guest guest]

Hi , what you say makes a lot of sense. I will check out DINET.org.

Throughout my childhood (and adulthood) whenever I'd stand or turn

quickly I'd feel dizzy...weak. I realise now that I must have had low

blood pressure all my life. Also, as a child, and even now if I wear a

tight belt or tight-fitting clothes I'll get painful stomach-cramp. I

only wish that the information you're giving here would be made

available to teenagers with the same physical problems. It could

possibly save a lot of future complications for them. Thanks Carlene

> Carlene:? Folks with FMS sometimes develop problems with their

autonomic nervous system. Among those problems is low blood pressure and

orthostatic intolerance.? One of the very strong reccommendations that

are made for folks with low blood pressure or pressures that drop when

one stands is to avoid any alcohol.? There are also many meds that one

should avoid in that case.? You can go to DINET.org and there is a link

for things you should avoid.
