Dear Bob Iwonder if any other people with pancreatitus answered your letter about the selenium. Has it worked for anyone else. I went today to my local GNC and could not find the liquid form however I did find the pill form. I went ahead and bought it untill I find the liquid I live ina small town and we do not have a lot of health food stored. I have had pancreatitus for over a year I have had my Gall bladder removed and a Spinkerectomy I guess that is spelled right. I still suffer from the desease however. I am a self employed person and I had no Insurance,I am $45,000.00 in medical debt and My Doctor has refered me to Oshners Clinic. However since I do not have insurance they want cash up front.So I am unable to go. I am still having attacks about one or two a week and they last from 24 to 48 hours,life is barely worth living,so I am hoping that the selenium will help me.also do you know if pancreatitus patients can qualify for SSI I tried but they turned me down saying I was not totally disabled to work. I am 57 years worked all my life am single now for 6 years thats when I lost my insurance. I sell Real Estate and as you know when I have a bad attack I have to take pain medication And can not drive my car,you cannot sell Real Estate if you can not drive.right,if you have any information to help me please answer thank you Rita Shea
