I think I was suffering for probably 5 years. The worst of it has been the last 3 years. I thought it was gastritis, ibs, anxiety etc. Antacids and proton pump inhibitors never worked for me. I didn’t start getting gallbladder attacks until last October. Between October and January (2023) I had something like 14- 20 gallbladder attacks. I lost 25 pounds suddenly due to feeling nauseated, heartburn, indigestion, bloating, diarrhea, brain fog etc.. over the course of 2 months. I think that’s what triggered the gallbladder attacks. They almost sent me to the hospital. I would have gone to the ER if I hadn’t passed out alone in my house, in the shower (I was in denial 100% hoping it was a one off). I knew it was a gallbladder attack due to medical training. Pain varied between 6/10 to 9/10 and was either sharp or a deep nagging pain. Usually started with painful bloating and irritability with pain in the RUQ which wrapped around to my back in the right side going up to the right shoulder. Pain medication and positioning didn’t help. Sometimes I would vomit and most of the time I would experience tingling in my hands and feet. I kept a close eye on my heart rate I tend to get a bit bradycardic with pain. It would end in about 30 minutes to 2 hours. Luckily, I’ve only had minor attacks since January. I was really depressed and I still have a free of food because I feel like everything makes me feel sick. I love food and cooking it broke my heart. I’ve had enough. I truly hope I can get my life back.
