Oxy withdrawal, etc - to Heidi

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi,

I read your contribution to this discussion with much

appreciation. You really made clear the idea of individualism to

medication reaction. Even though I know in my head that this

exists, it is hard to really bring it home at times - I know that I

have this tendency to rely on what " should " happen vs what

does...even though I am probably more liberal in that attitude

than most of the people I work with (medical people tend to be

more " scientific " and less " intuitive " I guess is a way to describe

it).

I think that if that book every develops it may be interesting to

include a chapter that describes the variation of responses to the

commonly used medicines for managing pancreas-type

symptoms. It would really re-inforce the idea that the " shoulds "

are not written in stone.
