Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 > > Thanks all. I guess everyone is at different stages. I probably could have stayed at my job but I really hated it. I am looking for a new job but thought I would take the time to build up my strength. (not happening) I have been feeling a little better the last couple of days. I went back to just taking ibuprofen before I exercise. I also take provigil to help me with the fatique. Seems like that helps when I exercise. But if I overexercise, I am worse the next day ....trying to find a balance. I want to thank all of you for being here. I too, haven't found the support out here in the real world. I get the feeling unless people have RA they just dont get it. I really don't even know for sure that I have RA. The primary care doctor says if it is RA, I will feel alot worse than I do now. I can't imagine. > God bless all of you who are suffering with this on a daily basis ... > Eileen > Eileen, You just hang in there with that positive attidude. Do what you can, while you can.If I would have known about this 3 years ago...believe me , I would have done everything that I have ever wanted to do. I have been trying to keep a positive attitude, but I went to my hand doc on Mon., and I have to have 2 more surgerties ion my elbow. The first, to move my ulnar nerve, he said that this one will be the worst....3 to 4 month recovery...then...he has to go back in and clean out all of the infalmation and bone spurs. I refuse to let it get me totally down, but can't help but be a little apprehensive. My first surgery is on Halloween morning!!! SPOOKY!!Take care and God bless. Gloria in Okla.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I had my gallbladder removed the first of November, and I feel GREAT! My grandmother had hers out 35 years ago, she's great. 2 of my aunts had theirs out about 20 yrs ago, they are all doing great. My mom had hers out a month ago and she is doing great. None of us have had any problems from having it removed, and no attacks since. I'm all for keeping the gallbladder when possible, but I don't regret my decision. I would recommend eating healthy, although you may not have attacks after eating bad anymore - eat healthy for YOU! Being in that surgery room made me want to be really healthy - I don't ever want a health problem caused by myself and an unhealthy diet. So I just recommend eating healthy for now!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I would like to know how old people were when they had their gallbladders out or started to suffer with gallstones? I had mine removed 10 years ago at 22yrs. The surgeon said he believed I was probably born with them because of state of my bladder which makes sense my mother had gallstones when pregnant with me. Most of my mothers family were young my grandmother 18yrs and my mother 23yrs. The youngest was my auntie who had hers removed at 13yrs. My brother so far the eldest at 35yrs, he nearly died due to complications. One of my uncles just had a liver transplant and he looks the picture of health now. Liver disease is common among my family . I have been told my my liver does not function well, so my diet is very healthy, and liver friendly.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I had my gallbladder out in November of this year. I am 31 years old and pregnant with my 5th child. My maternal grandmother, 2 of my mom's sisters and my mom all had gallstones and had their gallbladders removed.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hi , I too, hope your surgeon won't want to remove your gall bladder. Unfortunately, he is like a highly educated workman whose only tool is a hammer, and to him everything looks like a nail. Surgeons do surgery. Their only tool is surgery. They try to solve as many problems as they can get away with by surgery. They justify surgery as an easy fix, and coincidentally, they make a very comfortable living in the process. They don't get paid a lot for consultations that end in recommending no surgery. They get paid a lot for surgeries. After all, your problem is gallstones; he will remove them all in a matter of minutes and you will never have another gallstone for the rest of your life because you will not have a gallbladder for them to collect in. The symptom will be gone, but the problem will still be there getting worse and worse. Something about your physiology creates gall stones and the physiology is the problem. Diet, exersize, proper amount of water, etc. cures the problem. The trouble is that the cure is slow just like the problem took time to show up in symptoms. Many on this list have fought valiantly for years to keep their ailing gall bladder and in the end had it removed. The attempted cure didn't remove the pain and discomfort as fast as the condition progressed. Please read the links on these posts as a good place to start. The files section, archives, and links on the homepage of our group's website has more info. In order to know enough to make an informed decision, which may be a different decision than the surgeon recommends, you will have to learn quite a bit before your appointment. It's worth the effort though What you learn will help you become more healthy with (and I hope this won't happen) or without a gall bladder. Enjoy the learning journey Vince > I had my gallbladder out in November of this year. I am 31 years old and > pregnant with my 5th child.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Vince, Many thanks for your response --- looks like I have quite a bit of reading to do before my consult. The good news is that I managed to find a surgeon that my dad has dealt with in the past --- my dad is highly critical of most doctors but this surgeon is one of the few doctors he respects. So I hope when I walk into his office armed with my research that he will be open to what I have to say. Again thank you for your advice ......I feel as if I am on the right track!

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hi , You're welcome. Please think now about what you will do if your surgeon is not open to the alternatives that you research and uncover. He sounds like a good one. Even so, all of his training has prepared him to accept as his source of health information ONLY multimillion dollar double blind placebo controlled studies with only one variable per study. The information you uncover will not meet this " gold standard " of credibility. If he discredits all the information you have, it won't matter to him how true it all is. He'll assume it can't be trusted. If this is his rationale, it is not scientific nor is it logical. Just because no one has spent millions of dollars studying a natural cure doesn't mean the cure is unsafe or that it doesn't work. They haven't proven it is (by their standard of proof) and they haven't proven it isn't. We don't study the effects of drinking water every day or eating a taco every day, yet we accept from our common experience that they are safe and nourishing. We don't need studies or a doctor to tell us that. No one with millions of dollars to spend on studies is going to spend it proving that a safe alternative to drugs and surgery exists. They cannot patent the flush process and make their investment back plus more, therefore they don't spend their money to prove the flushes are safe and effective. They know how to make money, and hold onto what they make. Who's they? The drug companies, medical schools, and doctors with their associations (AMA, Etc.). They are doing the research that they choose to do, but research costs money. The people issuing the money are only funding research that has the potential to bring them more money than they spend on research. That's the American way. I'm glad to be an American, but I look further than the conventionally accepted methods to find out how to stay healthy. That brings me beyond what the Medical people in the good ole' USA are promoting. No country is perfect including the USA, but many more people are flooding into this country than are leaving, so it must be a better place to be than many others. The health care here is definitely not any where near the best in the world in keeping us healthy. Just encouraging you to look at all the possibilities and be ready for what ever happens. That way you won't get caught off-gaurd and be pushed into a decision that you weren't ready to make. Congratulations on finding a surgeon who is obviously a cut above the rest. That's a good start Vince > > I had my gallbladder out in November of this year. I am 31 > years old and > > pregnant with my 5th child.
