Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Greetings to the group! I have not posted for awhile but I am still around and still dealing with problems from taking lipitor many years ago but now something new has come up and I am curious if this is lipitor related too. Recently I was very sick...chills,fever,head ache,stomach pain,hurting all over...thought it was a bug but it went on too many days...while I was sick I noticed an infected bite near my left elbow...I finally made it to my doctor who diagnosed me with Lyme...that day I had the red bulls eye around the bite...he took blood and put me on an antibiotic. Later in the day the doctor called and confirmed the Lyme Disease and said to stop taking the antibiotic for my liver counts were Very High.I was sent to the hospital for a cat scan...from there to a Gastroenterologist who told me I have an abnormal gall bladder..more blood work was done...liver counts had gone down...I was then sent for an ultrasound on my gall bladder and then back to the gastro.dr who thinks while I was sick I overdosed myself on Tylenol and that I might have passed a stone...and that he is very concerned about the gall bladder and should probably have it removed...he says it has thick walls. Anyone know anything about gall bladders...could the use of Lipitor have caused the abnormality? My doctor once told me that I can't blame everything on the lipitor...I still say why not...I haven't had a well day since taking the poison! I am still under observation...will have more blood work done on the 15th and another ultrasound and I also found out that I do not have Lyme disease...not sure what made me so sick..spider bite? passing a stone? Its all been very crazy...not a fun way to spend my summer days! Jan in Maine __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
