a little update on my condition/diagnosis
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 12:38 pm
Havent been on here in a while because I've been really really sick. So turns out that my neurological symptoms can all be explained as gallbladder disease(gallbladder disease can cause swallowing problems which in turn creates speech problems). Also my vertigo and nausea can be explained by this. I ahve had a lot of other symptoms that could still be ms or some other form of neurological disorder but I am expecting once my gallbladder is taken out everything will clear up. Im thanking god that it may only be my gallbladder but tired of suffering.
The pain/nausea, etc has gotten worse in the past 5 weeks(i've been to the er 5 times)...I was finally referred to go back and see my general surgeon(who was looking into other things 2 years ago when i had chronic diahrrea and pain on my right side of my abdomen-crohns and colitis runs in the family so thats all he checked for).
Now last friday I had a Hida scan which i believe showed that my gallbladder isnt working properly(the tech told me that the injection should leave my gallbladder within 30-45 minutes after its been injected...mine didnt start leaving until they made me have an attack about an hour and 15 minutes in). I get the results on the 15th and then will be booked for surgery(tho if i get booked for surgery im just gonna go to the er and get the dr on call to take it out because i cant take the pain anymore).
Right now I am on t3's, buscopan, clonazepam(for the anxiety the attacks give me), pantaloc and lots of gravol...if my gallbladder gets taken out then i will only be on two perscriptions(unless the surgery gets rid of my headaches as well-which i read gallbladder disease could also cause).
Still going to see a new neurologist up in Saskatoon on the 24th but dont think anything will come from it(cuz we just sold our house and are moving back to ontario in mid may).
Im very excited to find out if this has been all its been all along. Sorry for the long post but im pretty happy right now(even tho Im still suffering with attacks everytime i eat...oh and i've also lost 22 lbs in the last 4 weeks cuz of it so that makes me happy because I am very overweight-also which could have been from gallbladder disease cuz one day i was super skinny and 6 months later i was huge, but not so happy because its an unhealthy way to lose weight)
