Drinking grapefruit juice has been successful in reducing and alleviating gall bladder spasms, the pain settles reasonably quickly
 
here's to pain free comfort

Hi Rhonda, sorry to hear you've been crook.
They will probably do an ultrasound to look for gallstones.  You will probably be advised of dietary precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition if it exists.  Surgery may be indicated in the future if you continue to have 'attacks".  Gall bladder removal can now be done by 'keyhole surgery' laproscopically and if done that way is not such a big op nowadays.  I hope you continue to improve, and have a comfortable, and happy Christmas.  (Go easy on the fatty foods, and rich puddings etc.).  My observation over the years is that there are increased incidents of gall bladder attacks and appendicitis around Christmas time.  I'm sure is associated with the changes to peoples' diets.  Kind regards, Lois

Does anybody know anything much about gaul stones?  is that how it is spelt??
 
anyway - I have had kind of a bad week....
 
On Tuesday i worked and it was really busy - i came home very tired.
On Wednesday I was even busier in the shop and came home extra extra tired.
Thursday my car broke down in the morning and I had to run around a lot to get Geoff to the shop and Katelyn from School - (her last day) and Georgre from Day Care (his last day) and then pick geoff up - got really tired and a sore throat started. A rather hectic day.
Friday throat became unbearable and got aches and pains all over
Saturday aches and pains were worse and I went to the DR.  Hardly able to move.  He said I had tonsilitis.
My stomch pains especially in the right side got worse and worse.
Sunday they wer worse but antibiotics had helped the throat and other pains.
Monday the stomach pains were so bad I was in tears in bed in the morning and got Susan to take me to the hospital (thought it may be appendix)
Spent most of today in Hospital - not appenidisitis but it may be gaul stones.  I have to go to the hospital in the morning to have an ultrasound to see.
Don't know what to expect in the morning or what they will do??
any idea?
 
Rhonda
PS - Merry Christmas to all!
