Oh, I'm so sorry for just now getting back to you.. bless your heart..

I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts many years ago.. it's a normal thing for a woman. I've had cysts up to 2 inches in diameter... and when my hubby and I are having our "special moments" i can tell whether I have a cyst  because it hurts like hades!!!

It makes me so mad they had you on all that med.. but like I said, that's the doc's profession.. get ya in, stick ya on meds, than get ya out..

I am also 5'9".. I weigh 180, which is about 20 lbs overweight.. Why do you have so many meds? Do you have diabetes, high blood pressure.. etc?.. send me a private message if you want.. so you can tell me what meds you're on and for what reason..

Or you can share with everyone here why you're on the meds.. they may learn from your experiences.

And also Note: Stress is a huge factor on our bodies.. are you stressed? and I assume the answer is yes..

Send me an inbox if you feel more comfortable doing that..

One last point I'd like to make to you.. is the more anxious you are towards the doctors, the more medicine they're going to stick you on and the more specialists they're going to send you to, which in turn, you're going to be stuck on even more medicine..

I'm not a doctor by no means and I don't understand your numbers but it would be helpful to know when all your situations have happened.. I doubt I can help but wouldn't mind trying..

and ps.. doctors are dumb.. there are very few docs that actually take their job seriously, who really care about their patients...

one of my docs just stuck me on omeprezole and I didn't start getting heartburn until after I started taking it.. she put me on that crap after a few seconds of looking in my mouth and then said goodbye, see ya in 3 months.. what the heck? I have stinkin heartburn now.. and I"m thinking I will never get rid of it!!  

look for a really young/fresh doctor.. they're more serious about their jobs for now.. until they start making the big bucks..

Several years after they get confident and learn the tricks of the doctors' trade, wham bam, you're in and out like a boomerang..

my crumby doc gets paid over $100 for a 10 minute visit with me (not to mention the hour wait I have to see her).. we pay $100 a week for health insurance.. most of the old docs are too lazy and sick from eating too much lobstertail in Hawaii to care about any of us..

Sorry to hear about your problems.. I hope you are better soon! Make sure you look up the risks of an ERCP.. and also don't let the doc's shove all kinds of medicine down your throat, which could possibly make everything worse.

Exercise, good diet, prayer, etc are the best meds for us.. but I am very glad for modern medicine and good doctors that are hard to find.. best wishes to you!
