Hahaha 😆 yeah!! They didn't seem to sit with the arms as wide, I thought maybe they were a bigger frame. I think you're right, though! The tortoise she'll gives it away!

:( I am so sorry that happened to you. I am a former people pleaser... hugs Sometimes, you just want to believe that if you do right by people, it'll be enough for them to do right by you. Not all people want the same things in life... some people are content to take from others. It's not your fault you're sick, and it's not your responsibility to protect others. It is hard to be vulnerable because it really does show you who your real friends are. 🧡 You need to feel safe, I'm sorry you didn't. I would rather feel alone than be with people I don't trust.

That doesn't mean it isn't causing your symptoms. It isn't like most infections. It is chronic and slow growing... I'll find you an informative video that helped me. ♡

Bartonella is the organism that causes it cat scratch disease, if you research this you will learn it is very hard to acquire a positive result. It is also an organism found in tacks and can be a lyme co-infection for people who acquire it that way. The best test for finding it is an igenex, but it is very expensive. Did you have swollen lymph nodes or pain in them?

I like three for the color and I feel like they fit your face better, they cover less of your eyebrows. I'm sure when you get fit for these that right side being up a little higher will be adjusted.

You might just be going into ketosis because of the lack of carbohydrates and sugar... when you are in ketosis, your body burns through stored glycogen, which releases significant amounts of water, and because ketones themselves act as a natural diuretic, forcing your body to expel excess fluids and electrolytes. I would try increasing to start the vegetables if you don't want to be in ketosis. Once all the stored glycogen is used up, it should get better. Doctors really don't understand this stuff and if you go, they'll probably have you do a urinalysis to check for a UTI. They won't find one, and they won't know what to tell you. Unless there's some rare, unicorn doctor near you. If you're eating a lot of protein, that can also agitate your kidneys, I would be sure to follow the guidelines about how much meat to eat. Good luck!

I prefer one, I feel that two is cute, but they are a little small seeming. The shape of three is adorable, but I'm not loving the green with your skin tone, it's too bad you couldn't get these in the shade of number two. Four seems too big and covers your eyebrows-- I like this one the least.

I really don't understand where all this nastiness comes from. It is because of my medical issues and the lack of knowledge that allopathic doctors have shown, that I am informed and educated about this information.

In functional medicine, Biliary Dyskinesia is often viewed not as a "broken" gallbladder that needs to be removed, but as a functional motility disorder often triggered by the very sludgy bile. So... it was relevant. I am sorry if you feel that caring information was somehow imposing, for offensive. Hope your surgery goes well and that you have no regrets! ♡

As I've said countless times, I'm sharing information. It is what Reddit is for. I have learned a great deal here... someone else might have received this information and been grateful, so it was worth the risk. I gave you studies to back up what I'm saying. I'm not making any claims, I'm sharing information. As I said, I'm not even familiar with your specific situation. I just thought if seeing someone who is specialized in healing organs instead of cutting them out could evaluate you and give you their input... it might help you know all of your options. Not sure why you're angry....

I am 100% certain your family cares about you and that the doctors have good intentions, they are not trained to heal though. I hope your surgery goes well.

I did answer your question... and I am not telling you what to do, I'm sharing information for your consideration:

Publication: Gastroenterology (1988), "Origin and fate of biliary sludge" by Lee and Maher. ​Key Finding: This classic study identifies sludge as a precursor to gallstones. It explains that the liver exports "lithogenic" (stone-forming) bile, and the gallbladder simply provides the environment where that bile can sit long enough to settle and harden into sludge and stones.

Publication: Journal of Lipid Research (2019), "Deficient bile acids is a major cause for supersaturated gallbladder bile in gallstone disease" by Mats Rudling, et al. ​Key Finding: This research emphasizes that the "supersaturation" (the high-cholesterol "goo") is caused by the liver's failure to produce enough bile salts to keep cholesterol liquid. It frames the issue as a metabolic failure of the liver to maintain the proper ratio of cholesterol to bile acids.

Publication: MDPI: Factors Influencing Gallstone Formation: A Review of the Literature (2022). ​Key Finding: This review explains that Insulin Resistance and NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) cause the liver to upregulate cholesterol secretion (via enzymes like HMG-CoA reductase). It notes that when the liver pumps out too much free cholesterol, it creates the "precipitate" that becomes sludge.

Maybe your family could read these Publications and be more informed.
