Mad World

Not only. It was my favorite pasta that nuked my insides. Not my favorite anymore.

I went to the ER the first time it happened years ago. They gave me an ultrasound then and told me then, it needed to be removed.

I've been trying to manage it with diet and enzymes.

... Go to the hospital Seer...

Yes well how many years ago? I had them do the ultrasound on mine they also said I need mine removed. What you want to find out is blood work your liver enzymes and pancreatic enzymes if those are elevated and also if the lining of the gallbladder if it looks thick in the ultrasound which is sign of infected tissue and possible rupture on the horizon then that is the other reason it will need to be removed. If the bile goes into your body cavity like that it creates septic shock and if not treated in time you die. Not trying to scare you but you have wrestled this disease for a long time, much longer than me and so I am just concerned if you keep letting this go on.

I will if it gets bad again. It usually doesn't last days, so this was kinda scary. An attack only suppose to last about 3 hours normally and I could usually wait those out no matter how much it hurt.. But I think I've progressed to disease stage.

A bunch of my relatives have had theirs removed. On both sides of my gene pool.

If we weren't in the middle of current pandemic scare, of which I have already have been isolating for..I would have gone.

It does feel a lot better now.


Thanks for the hyssopis information, Rick. I'll look into it.

Well you remember how long mine was hurting. I was hurting for weeks. And I thought I was clearly going to die so I went and they did the blood work and everything.

Freaking out, having a lot of anxiety increases acid production and gallbladder to contract and at the time I was having some major anxiety so anyways I managed my stress and anxiety and it all calmed down again.

This virus shit..of course has everyone in panic right now. You're scared, everyone is scared. So that is not helping your situation at all.

Also the coffee thing..

You need to eat first or right away after drinking your coffee.

Coffee contracts the gallbladder.

I was during the first year or two, of the X thread. I recall AGC posted that morning and what he posted..was in direct parallel to what I had experienced the night before.

That was very unpleasant sync.


Yeah I know. I was watching for fever. Staying hydrated. I'm okay for now.

That its progressed from a few hours pain to days...
Just go Seer - I get your hesitation, I do - but if that thing ruptures in you in the future... I'll even take into account the pandemic scare. If it's true, it's going to get worse in the future...So you can go now, get it sorted and get home... Or gamble that you won't be forced to go in the future when/if things get truly out of hand with it.

Cultural byproducts and defending that which you love from the writhing mass.

There are two sides to every story and the ambiguity of who shot first.

How far would or could one go?

Most importantly: what can one live with?

Nature loves a good firestarter.

Cheers

I ate too much. I fasted and then was really hungry and set of a nuke in my guts when I overindulged.

It was my fault. I know what I did wrong. I will miss my favorite pasta though.


No food for now. Sprite is great for tummy problems. I don't drink soda at all, otherwise.

The coffee made me feel a lot better. But it could just be the attack is over.

Well def look into the Hyssop tea.

Glad it's somewhat over.

My partner tried to convince me to go a bunch of times.

The timing is just awful but I have accepted I'm losing this war. I'm not going through that again.

Even if I have to call an ambulance.

Okay

Hmmm... That sux.

Do I just keep quoting?

PG. 86
"Pains in the gallbladder are in most instances caused not by stones by inflamation. Stones may be present in the gallbladder for years and not cause any pain."
...
"To rebuild the gallbladder, we must not only eliminate the gallbladder inflammation, but also must restore all functions related to it or which affect its functioning. Disorders of the digestive system must be eliminated. Excess weight must be reduced, constipation must be corrected, nerves must be strengthened and rebuilt, and circulation must be returned to normal"

"An acute gallbladder attack may occasionally be brought on when a stone gets into the duct and interferes with the free flow of bile. In these cases, measures must be employed to relax the duct in order to give the stones a chance to pass through. Medically, opiates are used for this purpose. However, since opiates have a disturbing and often harmful effect on the body, we recommend the use of simple, natural methods which, when properly applied, accomplish the same ends, but with no bad after affects"

Sprite with corn syrup? Hfcs aggravates gall bladder disease.

Oh well if it helps settle her stomach.

Anyways..

Try hot teas.

Stay away from peppermint though.

I found that always irritates it.

It does help. I normally don't drink soda at all. Only if really sick.

Tea is kind of a crap shoot for me. It usually make me nauseous.

I will look into the Hyssop though.


Thanks for the concern. Seems it is over for now. I do have insurance so that is not the issue. More, my stubbornness is.

No excuses for that man.


You know how the say elves were turned into orcs?

Angels to demons?

Well shite...

If you won't listen to your partner while it's occuring, no way are you going to listen to me now


Wish you the best with it Seer

He knew he couldn't convince me either, so he just kept reassuring me that if I wanted to go, he would take me.

Thanks hon. It will have to come out eventually. Soon probably. I'm not going through that again.

No Idea. We'll see how it plays out.

profits of doom and all that.

On that note...im back to turning off the information spigot for a time.

Take care.

Orcs use to be elves, that were tortured. He tortured a lot of people and in turn..created a lot of orcs.

Thanks I will.

You too.

This video needs more views.

I don't avoid going to the hospital just because I'm stubborn.

It's because I have never in my adult life received good care from any doctor ever.

One nurse practitioner. Which was female. And one physical therapist for a shoulder injury..which was also female. No doctors.


I watched many of my relatives suffer over years in hospitals. Last time I was in one..I got the flu. Not a cold. The flu. I made very certain not to touch my face, and used hand sanitizer 3 times, in the time I was there visiting. Which was about an hour.

Didn't matter. And I missed a second Christmas in a row..sick on the couch.

With this pandemic looming, I saw it as a form of torturous irony in a world more suited to Hell, than Heaven.

So Seer...
Do you concede we'll survive yet?

Hi Seer,

It was mentioned in I think in one of Callit's quotes, and I don't pretend to know what you are going through but saying that I don't think inflammation can be emphasized enough, and likely related to insulin resistance. I take tumeric-based herb mixes, but it can be a little pricey. Possibly some regular celery juice therapy I would also try. Aim directly at inflammation.

Survive in what sense?

Currently things do look a bit less doomy than they did a couple of weeks ago, but then..who really knows what is going on?

China is on internet blackout which should alarm everyone for obvious reasons.

Tyranny has its iron grip firmly wrapped around the throat of every Chinese person. No way in Hell, America could pull that off that kind of lock down without huge consequences..

April 21st 1992..would look like a bake sale.

Stuff like walking/hiking also can help move the insulin through resistance. It's interesting- I heard a doc saying that insulin itself is anti-inflammatory, and inflammation comes in areas it can't access.

I was just looking into the hyssop and my mom called.

Do you have a link to what you take? I really would like to avoid surgery if possible.

I'm not sure my problem is with insulin, but is definitely tied to inflammation.

One of the known causes of gallstones, is rapid weight loss. Which is what I did when I dropped 1/3 of my bodyweight in 8 months, back 2011-2012.

I've had problems with it, ever since.

Cholesterol is the problem.

I do need to walk more..but I'm a bit of a shut in.

One the things I take is an herb mix called Sweet Ease which is for blood sugar process - I think it's for more than what it implies concerning inflammation.

If I were going through a chronic thing like you describe, I would be more aggressive with the dose than recommened. I don't think you can really overdo these herbs. But I'd experiment with it. You also might want to consult with the people there to recommend stuff. Ayurvedic herbs have been a life saver for me.

Thanks. I'll check if Amazon has it. Hyssop comes in tincture form, which is better for me than tea.

Pancreas pain is truly awful. Ugh.

I probably drink too much and I'm pulling back on that for sure. Nothing is worth that pain. Certainly not a beer.
