Hi Debs,

Haven't seen you post here for a while - it's good to hear from you

again, although of course I'm sorry to hear about your recent

problems.

I'd forgotten about the anti-oxidant regimine that you and a number

of others on the board use (Heidi? Kimber?). I think that's

something that some of the " newer " members of the board might be

interested in hearing about.

When you get a chance, and feel up to it, would you mind posting the

specific vitamins/dosages you've been using? Sounds like it has made

a big difference in your daily battle with coping with pancreatitis.

re: low blood pressure - I've not heard about specific pain

medications causing low blood pressure, but I do know that

pancreatitis " attacks " themselves can cause a sudden sharp drop in

blood pressure. It's not generally associated with chronic

pancreatitis, except in those cases of chronic panc that are

accompanied by " recurrent acute attacks " .

Glad you didn't have to stay in the hospital, and that you are back

home. Have you been able to resume your anti-oxidant therapy yet?

It will be interesting to hear how quickly that " kicks back in " .

Hope you feel better soon.

Cheers,

--Tull
