With all I have been going through, my
anxiety is through the roof. Honestly I
even wonder if my ativan is helping
anymore. Which doesn't help with not
being able to eat much.
The other day my doctor told me to get
some liquid vitamins, cause I am feeling
so weak and well guess what, they gave me
indigestion. Even tried them a
day later and again the same.
Can't drink anything like Boost or a
protein shake, so I guess for right now I
stick with the rice cakes, soda crackers
and cream of rice cereal.
But after reading some of the posts about
the HIDA scan I am concerned that it will
put me into a gallbladder attack. I
really don't want to feel any worse than I
already am. Plus the fact of having to
get up 5 hours early to deal with any
indigestion I might have that morning,
like I do every morning so that I can have
the test.
Normally how long does it take for the
results to come back?
I was reading a gallbladder diet for both
having stones and after surgery. Said
that avocados are ok to have, well I had
not more than a tablespoon of some and
within and couple hours, the pain started.
Not bad pain, just the kind to let me
know not to do that again.
If this isn't my gallbladder I don't even
want to think of what needs to be done
next. I had an Upper GI, which my doctor
told me would show everything that a scope
would and it came back, mild GERD. Then I
went to his associate, cause my doctor was
on call that week and this doctor told me
no a Upper GI will not show the same thing
and told me that is what I need. Well I
explained that first off I am
claustrophobic and that would be very hard
for me to get through. Secondly, the
gastro doctor will not allow me to take my
ativan before the test. That is a real
problem, cause I have been on it now for
nearly 3 months since this started and my
body has a need for it. Has anyone had to
deal with this?
Sorry for the long post, but hope there
are a few of you who can give me some
encouragement.
