Pain after gall bladder removal
Sep 07, 2012 in the Gallbladder Expert Forum - 2
Ah, that's a great help, thank you very much. I have had phases of pancreatic type pain, but my amylase levels have always been normal. I'll put these ideas forward to my primary healthcare provider and see what she says. Thanks again!
Pain after gall bladder removal
Sep 06, 2012 in the Gallbladder Expert Forum - 2
I (female, 43) had my gall bladder removed in November 2008 after years of chronic cholecystitis. As the inflammation didn't show up on any ultrasounds, it went undiagnosed for years and upon removal, turned out to have developed into a porcelain gallbladder. Everything was fine afterwards provided I avoided fatty foods and too many eggs or milk product...

Yes, I absolutely agree. Acholic feces (that's the medical term for feces like you describe) would make me think first and foremost of gallstones. CalGal is right - an ultrasound of the gallbladder and bile ducts would be a good idea.

Yeah... if you can work to earn the money :-/ Still, I am training as a natural health practitioner (herbs, homeopathy and stuff) right now and will hopefully be able to help myself to some extent.

Ah, I only found your answer now, but thank you very much! Unfortunately I have found that the Lyme specialists in this country only take private patients - state health insurance won't cover more than a couple of weeks of antibiotics during the acute phase. So I am still going without treatment. There is a major Lyme centre not far from here, but I simp...

Thank you Jackie, that's a big help! I'm somewhat stymied, because the only Lyme specialists in this country (Germany) seem to be doctors in private practice who don't accept patients covered by state health insurance. Still, where there's a will, there's a way. I've had these symptoms for 15 years now (dizziness, headaches, ne...

Hi everyone, I went to see my neurologist today for the results of a lumbar puncture. I am wondering if anyone can shed any light on the results: Borrelia IgG antibodies (EIA): negative Borrelia IgM antibodies (EIA): positive (higher than 1.3 is positive, I had 2.2) Borrelia IgM antibodies (Blot): questionable positive OspC band: questionable positive ...

Sounds familiar to me - I too get bouts of pain where it feels like someone has put a noose around my neck and pulled it tight. It does get worse from long hours sitting in front of the computer with poor posture, that's true. At 160 your blood pressure is quite high (do you know what the diastolic - lower - figure was?), this could be one source of the ...
