It took 20 days but finally my gall bladder pain is gone!

Unfortunately all the pain killers have either given me an ulcer or reflux.  So I'm on a PPI (double dose****il the pain goes away.  Scope in my future I'm sure.

I'm getting booked for a HIDA scan and surgery irregardless of what the HIDA shows.  Since I have no stones and they couldn't see any sludge they aren't sure why I'm having such severe attacks.  

The 3 ultrasounds I've had show that I have Adenomyomatosis, which apparently isn't supposed to cause gall bladder attacks (severe pain), but in googling around I see that in some cases it does, I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones.  

Hopefully I'll be able to get the GB out in the next few weeks.

I'm glad you made it home and glad you are getting some help.  Hopefully it won't be too long before the surgery and you can get this solved.

Thanks gals!  Thankfully the GB pain is finally gone and I only have a little pain from the ulcer/reflux when I eat or drink.  

I'm really hoping that they can sqeeze me in within the next few weeks.  I've asked to be put on a cancellation list so that I can get in earlier.
