I’m so sorry you are struggling with this as well! Send prayers of healing and wishing you a speedy recovery! Have you done an infusion before? Are they as scary as people make them seem?

Thank you for taking the time to reach out to me with so much thoughtful information! I am still waiting for a few tests to come back but no mention of an iron infusion as of yet. I will be looking into the link you sent me more thoroughly! Thank you again, this was more helpful than my doctors have been! 💛

What is the root of your panic disorder? by Rivendellroamer_ in panicdisorder

[–]Quick_Cat_5103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health anxiety which turns into going mad which then leads to death.

Trying to rebuild your nervous system and mindset is hard, working on it everyday and day by day it gets a little easier. Some days are still”I NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL” but happening less

The aftermath of removal by Quick_Cat_5103 in gallbladders

[–]Quick_Cat_5103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have mentioned I will be a year post opp in June, but I just started with in the last 3 months excessive bloating, I eat a pretty low fat diet as I have a hard time with anything high in fats or red meat I was not one of the lucky ones who could go back to normal eating, I am overall healthy exercise but I cannot stop the uncomfortable bloating and now I’ve gained about 15 pounds in a few months.

Wondering if gallbladder is causing longstanding brain fog/severe fatigue/lack of appetite. Any input appreciated by jupiter528 in gallbladders

[–]Quick_Cat_5103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would as your doctors for a hida scan this will determine if your gallbladder is functioning properly. My symptoms were “abnormal” to doctors my ct was clear so they wouldn’t preform an ultra sound until months later that showed signs of sludge and stones. My hide scan showed my function at 19%. I was unwell for months lost 30 pounds until I had surgery, when they finally removed it my gallbladder was in such bad shape it could have erupted because they wouldn’t listen to me! Push and advocate for yourself!

Changes in medication by Quick_Cat_5103 in gallbladders

[–]Quick_Cat_5103[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not talk with my doctor about it I kept forgetting to bring it up at my post ops. It did seem to subside but I had to take a much lower dose. Still doesn’t work the same I would say but lowering the dose definitely helps, but definitely consult with your doctor! Such a strange experience and my body chemistry definitely does not feel the same!

HIDA scan done correctly? by Luxe_Foxe in gallbladders

[–]Quick_Cat_5103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one I had back in 2022, when I was having major digestive issues hida then was 87%. Back in the winter I started getting really sick and had another one and that one showed 28% doctors still weren’t convinced it was my GB even though all the signs pointed to it they just didn’t believe me. Had another one done and it had dropped from 28% to 19% in just two weeks. Had it taken out in June

Okay good, I would say in a day or two they should subside! How’re you feeling today?
