Re: Question to any one--Thanks Laurie

[Guest guest]

My doc emailed me this morning saying he was trying to get in touch

with the ins doc. I hope he can straighten this all out. I have

gotten so much worse the last month or so I really dont think I

could handle much more.

I dont think I am having an allergic reaction that is causing my

lips to get those teeny tiny little red bumps, they do burn a bit;

but mainly make my lips feel weird, like not on my face if that

makes sense. I have been putting everything one can think of for

it. I was just wondering if it is a panc thing.

Your right on the money with your description of SOD; I think.

Except for one thing. Mictuation is what starts this whole hormonal

ball rolling in the digestive tract. Micturation is chewing. So

sometimes even a piece of gum or a candy can start the proccess and

stimulate the sphincter to open. Actually smoking does as well,

stimulates the body' digestive processes. Smells can sause the same

type of reaction, its makes our mouths salivate which also stimulate

digestion.

I agree 110% with you that taking in small healthy snacks throughout

the day was absolutely crucial to me for so very very long. I was

wating something every 2-4 hours, healthy ofcourse. It did nake a

big difference in the sphincter pain, but it didn't last very long

as my cp has been very aggressive.

Anyway I always love to read your well written and interesting

posts. How are you feeling? Anything new going on with your own

insurance messes. Hope you can get this straightened out soon or I

might just have to ride up there kidnap you and take you to see my

docs at MUSC. Uhhh where do you live any?

Feel Better and Thanks for all the help you give;Chrissy
