Re: New From Oklahoma to Lesa

shortness of breath and wheezing after I eat. My D.O. gave me an inhaler for

that which helps a little.

Hi Lesa,

Welcome to the PAI! I hope you've learned a little bit about us just by reading

the recent posts. I wish I knew the answer to explain why you've been feeling

short of breath and wheezing after you eat, but I've come up with a furrowed

forehead and a blank stare about those symptoms....they aren't something

commonly heard of. I know many of us feel shortness of breath while in the

midst of a severe pancreatic flare, I haven't found it common on a daily basis

with no more stimulation than eating a meal. Perhaps someone else will be

more knowledgeable about this type of symptom.

It's great that you were able to find some relief with alternative therapy

that's

allowed you to reduce your narcotic intake. Usually anything we can do to

help ease the pain is beneficial. Would you mind sharing with us what

particular homeopathic remedies you tried that were able to make such a

significant difference in your pain levels?

We look forward to hearing from you again, and to seeing your contribution to

the message board, should you feel comfortable in doing so. Good luck!

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
