Ulcers/Hernia/Gallbladder
Yesterday I had tests done for the Upper Right Side pain I have had since the 27th of Nov. My doctor did a Hida scan, and endoscope. I have Ulcers, hermia, and he thinks my gallbladder isn't working well. He also did blood draws. Did not have the results from any of the test but the endoscope. Can these things in your stomach cause diarrhea? If I eat and manage to keep the food down it goes right through me.
What will happen now. I am not at work yet today, felt horrible when I woke up my stomach feel raw, I taste blood and I have the pain under my right rib, going to leave for work soon. Really would like to understand what is going on. Have a follow up appt. after the new year but that it weeks away. Any information will help, would rather know than not know. Oh her also did a test for H-pylore or however it is spelled.

Hi SurgiMenopause
I don't have H.pylori, and no more blood taste. The surgeon was amazing! He is sending me to and Endo before he does anything to have my adrinal checked. Hyda scan came back boarder line. Still having problems eating, but not accute if I eat little bits and watch what I eat. When I overdue then I suffer, still have the runs which is the opposite of what I usually deal with. No more vomiting. So all is well.
Having really bad problems with my joints in my hands and wrists. Almost everyday they are swollen red and very painful. All I can say is this is weird and I would just like to feel like me again. Off to fight the snow, Have a good day.

Well, consulting a surgeon does not always mean you will actually get the surgery- they can recommend, but you're the one who decides whether or not to sign a consent form. But before you even go there, you need to have someone not just say they think your gallbladder isn't working properly, you need to get diagnostic testing to try to find out, if possible, with a HIDA scan, including ejection fraction or MRI or at least an abdominal ultrasound if there truly is a gall bladder problem. A surgeon is just one kind of doctor that can order that test for you- I would think an internest or a GI doc could do it for you too.
I think it would be a mistake not to tell them about your adrenal situation. I don't know of any substitute for steroids, but you might consult a licensed Chinese herbalist or wholistic health practicioner to see if there are any natural products out there that can simulate them.
Regarding the ulcers- have you gotten the test results back yet for the H. pylori? Because that needs to be one of your priorities! Has the blood taste stopped yet?

A bit scared about seeing a surgen, my adrial gland does not work correctly, I know that I could possible go into an adrial storm when my body is under a lot of stress. I do not take the medication the doctor prescribed as steriods and I do not get along. Anyway how do I talk to this new doctor about this? If I say nothing will they look after me well enough to catch on to the signs of an adrial storm if I say nothing? I do not want anyone to give me steriods, ever again. Isn't there anything else that can be taken instead? This is truly scaring me.
Thanks for the information above. You made me smile. My daughter is amazing and yes I had her before my 19th birthday. She is now VP on her company, I put her thru Ithaca college in NY, where she graduated top in her class. Have a 25 year old daughter ( symptoms also) she is in nursing school. My son is 23, he now suffer with a TBI but was a Pipe Fitter. Worked at University Hospital in Syracuse when they built the Childrens Hospital before his injury. Wonderful children. Raised them alone for 22 years. Very proud of them
Anyway, I am going to ask the Gastro doctor I am seeing Friday to refer me to the other doc you mentioned. Woke this morning with Joint in hands and wrists swollen, red and very painful. Want to take moltrin but scared because of my stomach which is still not behaving. Couldn't life to coffee pot. and Typing hurts. So I truly have to find out what is happening. You have been very kind. Thank you

Thanks I will talk to my doctor and set up an appt with a rheumatologist. One sister has sarcodosis, another has graves, all but one have problems with thyroid, as do our children now. Weird stuff. No MS ever in our family unil now cousin with MS and RA she lived right across from the plant. My father brought my mother here from England after WW2. Then he got sponsers and brought her sisters and brothers because of the devistation in England at the time. We all lived near eachother. Only the children born in the area are effected by weird things. My oldest daughter is effected which scares me as her symptoms follow closely to mine, she is now 30. How do you talk to a doctor and have them hear you, truly listen. I have avoided them for many years and now I can't because things have gone to far. Also, I am hoping if the doctors find out what is going on with me it will help my daughter. So I will take you advice and make the appts. Thanks for the encouragement.

You can type of a list of your symptoms and a list of questions, most important ones to you at the top of the list. You can see if the doctor will read it but often they want to listen and not bother to look. So, you can use your own list to try to be sure you don't leave out anything important that you'll wish later you remembered to mention. Bring someone with you (your daughter would be a great choice since she is having some of the same problems) to be a second pair of ears to listen to what the doctor has to say and to take notes.
It's good to prepare for your appointment- do some research so you can have some idea of what tests you want to request with the reasons why you are requesting them. A good doctor will hopefully order at least some of the tests you mention and maybe some you didn't know about as well.
You may want to research the doctor first, find out when and where they graduated and if they are board certified (if the office doesn't give out that info when you call for some reason & you want to know where you can find out this info, feel free to private message me). And you might even take a look at nurse practicioners who are experienced, because sometimes they seem to be more thorough and give you more time than a doctor in the same office would.
