Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hi! I have just joined and have really enjoyed reading your messages-- such a wealth of information. Five years ago, when I was 22, I was diagnosed with gallstones. My doctor suggested removal of the gall bladder, however, I did not follow his advice. I enlisted the help of a chinese herbalist and he has done wonders for me. About three weeks ago, I started having mild and small attacks that have continued until today. It is my understanding that the gall bladder in chinese medicine has a " close working relationship " with the thyroid. Last year I was diagnosed in having a benign module as was told to watch it. Again, I enlisted the assistance of my chinese doctor who actually shrank the nodule. Everytime I have a gall bladder attack, my noduel pops up again. My questions for this group: Has anyone had gall stones and thyroid issues at the same time? And also, how frequently after an attack has anyone been told they have an infection in the gall bladder? I was a little bit " yellow " a few days ago and one of my lymph nodes in the thyroid area is a tiny bit bigger. I am visiting my conventional doctor in a couple of weeks as he told me to wait as in all probability, I have a small infection in the gallbladder. This would cause the light swelling in the lymph nodes. Thoughts or similar experiences? Thank you so very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
