HIDA SCAN

Question

HAD MY HIDA SCAN THIS MORNING...WAS A LITTLE AGITATED AT FIRST SINCE IT WAS AT 7:15 A.M.  THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.  THE TEST TOOK AN HOUR AND A HALF...AN HOUR AND A HALF OF LOOKING AT A MACHINE RIGHT ABOVE MY FACE.  WELL, THIS IS WHERE THE BLESSING CAME IN...IT WAS 7:15...I PRETTY MUCH SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING.

THE LAST INJECTION WAS A LITTLE ROUGH...BOY WAS I NAUSEATED...THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOOSE IT...GOOD THING IS THAT THE FEELING LASTED ONLY AS LONG AS IT TOOK TO SLOWLY GET THE INJECTION...AROUND 2-3 MINUTES.

THE TECH SAID THAT MY DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE THE RESULTS BY WEDNESDAY.  I AM EXTREMELY ANXIOUS TO GET THE RESULTS...JUST SO READY TO START FEELING BETTER.

Hi there!  See - it wasn't so bad after all.  :-)  Since you experienced nausea with the CCK injection, that is one sign of a poorly functioning gallbladder.  Looks like you're on your way to getting the treatment you need.  Congrats!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION YOU SHARED ON MY POSTS.
I REMEMBER YOU TELLING ME ON MY PREVIOUS POST THAT IF I BECAME NAUSEATED DURING THE SCAN THAT MY GALLBLADDER WAS PROBABLY NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.  SO WHEN I FELT NAUSEATED I SAID TO MYSELF, "THAT'S JUST GREAT", JAYBAY WARNED ME ABOUT THIS". (HE HE)
I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW GOOD YOU ARE (LOL)

Thanks for checking back in Lizzie!  I am so hopeful for you that you'll finally get to the bottom of your troubles.  It's such an odd feeling to hope for "bad news" on a test result so you can finally get a diagnosis, get treated and get back to normal living.  You made my day telling me something I wrote helped you be prepared for your test.  Thanks again!  :-)
