Lewie.... I was thinking about you this week. In regards to your stomach... Since you are pretty sure you have the celiac artery compression, I am wondering if the doctors tried a nitrate drug on you to see if it would improve blood flow?
Nitrates (either topical ointment rubbed on the stomach area near the compression site, or oral sustained release like Imdur), dilate blood vessels. They are sometimes used to relax the esophagus muscle in those with spasms there. They do cause headache at first, when you first start them, but a tolerance develops to that quickly.
