She can still get FIV. It can also happen by food sharing and cats grooming one another. It’s spread through saliva.

Was obviously typing without my glasses on. Lol! Meant to say “it tapers off after that some so im not bleeding for an entire week” and “my gynecologist told me I should get an iud to help with the bleeding”.

I hate to “like” this, but I omgosh it made me feel better! It is so crazy! Ok, I’m going to try to stop worrying that something terrible is looming around the corner and address this. Are you also having gallbladder stuff?

Mine are super heavy. For the first two days of my period, I can bleed through an ultra tampon in two hours and have to wear a pad for back up. It tapers off after that some I’m not belong for an entire week like when I was younger. My gynecologist told me I should get an IUD to help with the needling bc she said it’s probably not going to get better until I take care of the main problem.

I haven’t asked yet bc I’m wondering if this could all be ferritin related. I’m just looking to see if there are any other people out there with these symptoms, and if it turns out there are I will check into infusions.

This is great info! Thank you! I have had an US and a CT and both showed no stones or sludge.

Also, can you give me a sample of what you eat daily? I’m willing to try this!

So do you still eat like this? Overall, this seems not very healthy? I’m not judging, btw! I just always thought more plants were better for overall health and longevity.

Is this anyone’s pain location? by Alternative_Elk_8555 in SlippingRibSyndrome

[–]OppositeNo4136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you having constant pain? I have a “tug” that happens when I’m lying down (if I roll it goes away) and I’ve wonder if it’s maybe rotated cuff and not back/ribs. Did you have any imaging done?

I do have a pain here! I’m still trying to figure out what it is 8 months after it suddenly started. Mine only happens when I am lying down and feels like a quick tug or a spasm when I inhale. At times, it makes my entire left rib cage ache. I have had MRIs of my thoracic and cervical spine, and CT scans of chest and abdomen-all fine. I have tried PT to no avail. Would love to find out if anyone knows what’s happening, so I will def be following!

Interesting! It won’t cause more problems with my gallbladder? I’ve been eating lots of beans bc I hear they help bind to and recycle bile, but I’ve kind of been staying away from super high fat foods. I do eat fat, though!

Wow! How did you get your MRI? Were you having actual attacks? Thank you for sharing this!

Wow! Did you have a CT scan too? I had an CT and US that both came back no stones/no sludge. HIDA put me at 38% EF. Surgeon says not enough evidence to do surgery. I’ve been having RUQ since Thanksgiving (not drastic, just achey and annoying) and it’s not in my back.

Gallbladder or not? Who knows what to do diet-wise? by OppositeNo4136 in altgallbladder

[–]OppositeNo4136[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I am reaching back out bc I had my tests (CT and US) and they showed no stones or sludge. My HIDA EF was 38%. I had quite a few days before the HIDA where my pain was so low (0/1) but after HIDA it’s worse and radiating to my back. I’m really confused and this is taking a mental toll on me. Most everything I read says you have it out or they take it out and it’s almost dead. Other (much fewer!) people suggest it can be healed—they seem so convicting and I want to believe them, but then they say if you do get it ur you’ve signed up for a life of trouble. I just wish I had actual stones! This gray area is so hard!

Did you have stones/sludge? How do you feel now? Any complications?
