Re: Re: Eye Pain Question - Kathy

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy,

Yes, I have an enlarged liver and spleen. The doctors don't seem too concerned about it though. Sound familiar? I worry about it every day. However, since explant my spleen doesn't hurt as bad as it had. My liver or gallbladder whatever is going on in that area is still very painful. This is why I want it looked into further. I just want to know what is wrong. Whether it be that I need to detox further or there is something wrong with the gallbladder. I just need to know. mikat828 <mikat828@...> wrote:

bethsorry to hear that you are still feeling so bad. I don't understand why they could't see your gallbladder on the tests. That sounds weird to me. I know they use the ultrasound to see the gallbladder. Is your liver enlarged? Something doesn't sound right. I would keep pushing them to get this resolved.

He sent for my records from the other doctor so I have to call him back in 10 days. Then he will know what tests to do. This makes sense.

My spleen was enlarged for two years, went away when I kept detoxing.
