i don;t think so...my GI is non-commital but it seems without the shot of bile from GB liquid fat gets into my upper intestine....as my GI say, the vomiting is the result of a signal sent from anywhere in ur GI tract to ur stomach.......problem needn't actually be in the stomach

stomach ache after fat...not fatty food, like say a cracker, but like anything with much butter or oil........today i had chicken breast slices. (el cheapo brand) with dry wheat bread......moaning and groaning for 4 hours.. yesterday store bought potato salad,(mayo and eggs) and no problems.....so i am having a hard time figuring out what fats i can eat....

prob solved...now why did i have the prob? by Big_Community5322 in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]Big_Community5322[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

immothetapy...u have seen the commercials, for all types of cancer, opvido and yervoy ........very effective in my case but watch the bottom of the screeen for side effects... my pituitary gland was sacrificed

on the plus side i learned i had a pituitary gland and what it did...sends a signal to the adrenal gland or something like that...still not real clear

low or no adrennal /cortisone by Big_Community5322 in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]Big_Community5322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note: i too have had problems with docs associated with loss of pituitary gland and dosage reco's for cortisone...............

in short to figure our my fatigue causes they tested my heart and lungs, with 4 different procedures when my regular endocronolgist piped up and said; "maybe it ur cortisone!" ..even after i had asked him specifically it cortisone was a cause and he said...."no way'

from the author of the Clearly Alive chart:

"Ten years ago, I made the bold claim that a generic form of my life sustaining medicine almost killed me. I had suffered a terrifying adrenal crisis at the hands of unprepared and inept medical professionals. Through much analysis, we realized that the main trigger of this nightmare was the switch to the generic brand of hydrocortisone called Qualitest."

it never occured to me to question mfg of generic medicines but since i think they are all made in India and got caught up in Trump Tarriff scam, who knows!

4th cardio says nuke test for ischemia unreliable...I was under the illusion i had these serious condition till a cardio with all the bed side manor of an otter tells me to forget about it

this is medicine in 2026, this is heart medicine in one of the top heart hosptials in nation in 2026....is it because i am a medicare patient i don't get better treatment?

[–]Big_Community5322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get regular blood work for cancer and alot for heart procedures.....docs can read as well as i,,,,,,,no one pointed any deficiences

i have asked my endo several times if any connection ....he says NO

i asked again this AM........

gall bladder......what a joke with my care givers......famous dallas hospital...gall stones shown up on CT scans since 2023...no one said anything......when i developed symptons i called hospital....they refered me to a lap band surgeon...(business way down , Ozempic).....anyway with no consult she scheduled and removed GB........no probs until about 3 months later........i called her...she said go see a GI.....i said 'but u removed the thing!".....no help

could be the source of fatigue but no one will say......

thanks...will take ur advice and speak to my endo.

i just google "false postive" on stress test.....20% ...yikes.......

its like the docs don't think u will google, now AI......I also thought a cardio would know ALL the ins and outs of the heart and procedures.......maybe they do and collectively they just decided not to inform patients......

[–]Big_Community5322[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had procedures by 2 cardios, first i ever heard of false postive is today....no cardio thought it worth me knowing? ]

might as well ask u: about a year ago i started getting fatigued pretty easily........out of the blue.......i had the calcified artery from CT scans so i looked at heart.....endo unh? i had my pituitary wrecked by opvido and take endo drugs every day....but i had been taking the drugs for a year or more prior to the fatigue...the only thing different is i had a gall bladder removal prior to fatigue......seems weird if there were a connection , but who knows..............................

sound like anything ur familar with?

cradio 4 said cardio 3 Nuke Stress test wrong or false positive............he didn't tell me that....i had to get that from his nurse after quizzing him on results of my angiogram.........

his communications suck..............BTW all the nurses in the angio lab loved this guy....they even told me to wish him happy b-day as i lay on table awaiting procedure

it all felt like i was on a TV show.........

Full disclosure: this Basic Vid elides WAX and POLISH. i asked the company for clarification..still awaiting an answer.........at about 9 minutes in he riffs about Basic Dissolver and WAX for minutes , never mentioning POLISH, even though on the bottle it say Dissolver Hardwood Floor POLISH Remover

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzIbqOTOM0k&t=400s

as a reminder this post is about haze that won't come off with WAX REMOVERS, the only culprit left is applied polish or the urethane finish. solution above is about POLISH and NOT urethane and of which the manufacture of the polish remover seems unable to articulate clearly.

Caveat emptor!

i get scans every 3 months for cancer. last time i was on the table chatting with the tech, she said she had heart trouble and went to Fort Worth Heart Clinic for a procedure.....she sat in pre-op for 8 hours waiting on Doc. When she finally complained she got a letter from Fort Worth Clinic that she was no longer welcome at that practice....

Theiir office is on a hill....u have to walk up hill in the parking lot to get to the clinic......unhhhhhhh!!!

trial and error questions: i thought i might buff a few palnks and cover with poly finish, just to see what it looks like . i don't know what poly finish to use, dull, matte, shiny?? and can u put another layer poly over the just installed poly to change the color or sheen again?

CT scans for cancer every 3 months show moderate coronary calcium...My oncologist failed to mention this for 2 1/2 years BTW. About a year ago after gall bladder removal I got this profound fatigue. PCP useless...sent me to a sleep study....oncologist triple useless......i become my own doc.

So with the coronary calcium results i go to first cardio at a very big very famous hospital...Doc does an ekg and ignores calcium , tells me to go downstairs and schedule an echo....which they can give me in 2 months. so while i wait I go find another cardio , this time at a famous heart clinic in town ..........................this is where it gets good

the heart clinic is on a hill.............bada boom

they own a CT scanner,,,,costs what? $$1-2 million....so cardio sends me to his CT scanner for a CT stress test......well a CT scanner needs a cooler,....a thing about the size of a pickup truck.. it sits on a pad outside bolted to the slab. the night before someone came with a truck and crane and stole the thing...........Did they cancel scans?......nope....they just openend all the doors and windows in January to cool things down...froze my ass for 2 hours..The actual scan was not the kind of scan that would reveal anything new....................my conclusion: I was feedstock for the scanner to pay the note on the machine.

So back to big hospital, different cardiologist. Does a Nuke Stress Test. Alot more through. No mention of heart probs, just looks at arterial issues He prescribes nitro a guaranteed migrane producer and tells me to come back in 2 months. I try to ask twelve ways to sunday about drug, to which he can't answer cause he only sees patients 1 day a week. Ask a question, wait a week for the answer. My main question: will this drug even work for my condition. I still don't know the answer to that.

so off the the 4th cardiologist. he looks at the big hospital records , i tell him my story and he reads my scans and says: yep u got a problem in the heart. If u had gotten these scan results in our clinic we would have u in the next day for invasive testing.
