Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Hi, I am new to this group & desperate. I had my gallbladder removed in 2001 and have been extremely ill ever since. I have been diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and pretty much react to everything. I feel toxic & poisoned every day of my life, and really have no quality of life to speak of. I am severely fatigued, have terrible brain fog, am in a great deal of pain most of the time, and can barely get out of bed most days. I am 47 and my 75 year old mother is 10 times healthier than me (and she is ill!) I am wondering if all this has to do with the gallbladder removal as I was very healthy before that. I do have Lyme Disease (got the gallstones from IV Rocephin) but I don't think these symptoms are all necessarily from Lyme. I had nearly 2 years of antibiotic treatment and have done a lot of alternative & herbal treatments as well. I am wondering if perhaps I have stones forming in the liver and/or bile ducts now that the gallbladder is gone, or if my Phase I and Phase II metabolism is messed up because of the gallbladder removal (I know this has something to do with MCS). I am just not as knowledgable as I would like to be on all this, and can't seem to find a doctor who can help me. Does any of this make sense? Is this terrible toxicity I'm feeling correctable? Please, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it...... Thanks, Quote
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Posted March 27, 2008 Your symptoms sound like lyme to me. These are the same complaints I see on the lyme forums.
