Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hi Kris1 I forgot to mention that I do use pain meds as well, when I need to. I use codeine and paracteamol in an effervescent base. I have two strengths, 8mg codeine with 500mg paracetamol and 30mg codeine with 500mg paracetamol. I use what I need to depending on the pain. I try to manage with nothing at all. With mild pain I take a couple of the lower-dose ones. If I get worse pain I take one or one and a half of the higher dose ones. Occasionally recently I've taken them for pains in my feet (see my other boring posts on this problem!!) even when my panc has been OK. I've had just one panc attack where I needed two of the higher dose ones. The higher dose ones were only prescribed from last October. I personally find these pain meds very effective but they are not strong enough for many patients and may not be widely used in the US anyway.
