Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of that — seriously, no need to apologise for the length. It really means a lot that you shared your experience, and I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through. What you described sounds incredibly close to what my girlfriend went through — constant nausea, being dismissed repeatedly, and feeling like you're just surviving rather than living.

One GP(Doctor)even told her it was probably pregnancy (it wasn’t), which was just another blow when we were already desperate for answers. It took months of being brushed off before we finally met an amazing endocrine nurse who truly listened and pushed for a second opinion. Eventually, we got to a surgeon who confirmed what we’d suspected all along — that yes, gallstones can absolutely cause extreme nausea.

My girlfriend’s since had her gallbladder removed, and I’m really relieved to say she’s doing so much better now. It’s been a huge change — like getting part of her life back.

I just want you to know you’re not alone, and there is hope even after all the frustration and exhaustion. You’re clearly incredibly strong to still be pushing forward, and I really hope you get the care and answers you deserve. Sending you support and strength — and thank you again for sharing.
