I dragged myself through broken glass, fire and barbed wire to the clinic today
Had tests done to determine gallbladder issues. Nurse practitioner says to me after I tell her I try to follow macrobiotic diet (but I've been bad lately) "You know, if this is gallbladder problems, you CAN turn this around with diet." She says this to me....who knows all this but does nothing about it because I am lazy....and protesting the fact that I am forced to cook on an electric stove....and lazy.....mostly lazy.

OK, so now I sit out the results and will probably need an ultrasound at some date in the near future. Am I obsessing? Hahahahahahaha. Me? Again I say...hahahahahahaha.

6. You sure have a lot of gall posting this.
Hang in there...I have had gallstones for years. They rarely bother me, but when they do...oh boy.

7. Bullshit, wrong wrong wrong
I'm dealing with gallbladder issues, diet helps but doesn't turn around jack shit...I have chest pains nearly daily, and my lower left side is clenched and uncomfortable 24x7, and it's been this way for month, after month, after month...I'm going through the gauntlet of tests now, ultrasound showed no stones but that's not unusual, next up is endoscopy next week. I've known several people with gallbladder issues, one who suffered a year and a half because tests weren't showing anything wrong, she finally went to Boston and based on her condition a surgeon removed it, and it was all deformed.

Hang in there! It sucks! Eat lots of oatmeal and quinoa!
