Gall bladder

by seashell55, Apr 13, 2003 12:00AM
I started Pegasys and Copegus 1000mg on April 4th. So far I have had a smooth sailing but today's event was pretty annoying and embrassing.

Last year around February 8th, I experienced what seem to me a heart attack, but it turned out to be a gall bladder attack and I hyperventalated.  Today I went to pick a friend up from work and experienced the same thing again.

I had her drive me to the emergency room,  called my hubby, and by the time I arrived at the hospital it had subsided. So I didn't go in and see a doctor just came home.  Felt bad, disrupted my husband, his brother, and friends gaming time.

Two things:

1) Should I carry some sort of record on me that says what type of treatment I'm on.  If my husband could not have made it there, my friend doesn't know what I'm taking, and if I couldn't tell them, it would be a problem. Yes?

2) I'm sure I will have to tell my doctor what happened even though I wasn't seen, but because of the treatment will my gall bladder get worse?  I do have gall stones  and I know somehow the liver and the gall bladder are somewhat connected.

Oh on a side note:  I sprained/smashed/broke my baby toe on my right foot last night.

Onward we go 2 of 48.  Strap in the ride going to get better. LOL
