Hi Ryanb23,

I have experience the same symptoms. I only discovered gull blader disease tonight.
Everything ties up and I am going to organize a HISA asap. I have been vomiting on and of for the past 5 years now. I can go months without any problems, and then all of a sudden it hits me. I have been to different specialist and no one could help me so far.

Thus far Nexium,for acid refluxed, has helped a bit.

I must admit that alcohol does make things worse.

Hope it helps to know your not the only one battling

I am a 34 year old Caucasian male (I say this because race does matter with Gallbladder disease) and for the last 3 - 4 years, I have been feeling sick, just like others have described on here. I too went and had numerous tests done off and on. I’ve had ER trips and countless panels of blood work done! They would always come back normal and they would release me saying:

“Well, you may just be getting a bad cold…? You know… that is going around right now….”

I’m like, “A COLD!? SERIOUSLY!?  For 3 -4 years!?”

Well, it wasn’t until this past Wednesday where I actually had this stabbing pain in the location that we’re all familiar with. It progressed and I went to the ER again. They did an ultrasound – again – and this time, they found a polyp in my gallbladder.  I cannot tell you how RELIEVED I was!  Finally, they found something!

I understand what some of going through on here. All you want is to feel normal. I’ll tell you right now… after dealing with this for about 3 years or more, it gets tiring. All you want are answers. You want to feel normal again. You want to be a good co-worker, employee, spouse, and friend, whomever… You just want to be you. Well, for quite some time now, I didn’t even know who I was anymore. How can something so small (about the size of your thumb) be the cause of so much, I wondered. But I had to accept that it just does. It does!

On the 15th, I meet with my surgeon for my consult and I have to admit, I am VERY excited. I cannot wait to be me again. And I am sure that my wife feels the same way.

And as a side note: this will be my first surgery. So, I will no longer have the, “never-had-a-surgery-checkmark” on
my medical record any more.

No big deal though… I’m excited!

Cheers,

Dan

Hi Raptor 24.
Im now 26 and have been dealing with this for 4 years.The last two have been very good. Ive still had nausea and urq sickness but it has been mild. Until a few days ago. I found that drinking tons of water every day slowly helped the problem. However this past friday i was eating my lunch at work and had a sort of attack. It feels like somthing is spasming under my ribs on the right side almost like someone has stuck there finger in there and is wiggleing it. I instantly felt like pukeing. I was able to relax and wait it out and it slowly disipated during the after noon. Then I drank on saturday and sunday was the worst day ive had in two years. I couldnt eat much at all. Monday day after hang over and i was only able to get down a half a bowl of cereal. Lunch i ate  crackers and barely got them down. That night i went home and made a burito thinking i have to eat or ill starve. Half way throught the barito the stinging spasming nausea started. and it got really bad, Then somthing gave and it felt like i releast some fluid and felt 100% better in about 20 seconds it was amazing. I was then able to eat the entire barito and more. Today the day after i had an episode 1 hr after breakfast and had to go home. Same thing but this time it took a few hours to dissipate i didnt have the insant relief. Im 95% positive its my gall bladder and maybe i haev a small stone or somthing. There was no reason after my health has been so decent for 2 years for it to revert to **** in the course of a few days. How are you doing tell me a bit more about your problem. Im practically an expert after reading so much
