After exams, we noticed that my gall bladder only work 5% and I need to have it remove. I also have that burning sensation all the time and I'm wondering if I have an infection...how can we tell? I don't have any heartburn at all!
Also is there any emergency to have the gall bladder remove, can this wait maybe 1 month from now?? My mom need to fly in from a foreign country and my dad is just back from colon surgery! Thanks for you help!

I have Bipolar and one of my most debilitating symptoms is my rapid speech. Whenever I open my mouth to talk, my brain gets over aroused. The longer I talk for, the faster my speech gets. Its sooooo frustrating and embarrassing because I have absolutely no control over it. I've had this problem since I first experienced my other extreme mood symptoms. I've tried EVERY relaxation technique known to man...honestly!! My doctor wants to give me Lithium but I don't want to end up like a zombie. Does anyone else have a problem like this or is it just me...???

I've tried gel insoles, and they don't help. I also have taken Motrin for inflammation, which also doesn't help. About the only thing that helps temporarily is massage.

i mean really think about it --- these girls are CHOOSING to do this to themselves ... and for anyone whos going to say " it takes over them" then in that case smoking is also disease - because its the same thing! I consider CANCER a disease - not anerexia! i mean comeeeeeeee onnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!


im sorry but im not the slightest bit sympthetic to people who are axerexic.


agree or disagree?

I ask this question so that it can be a resource for all those who suffer and we can see some different ways that others deal with IBS.

After taking different medications and supplements I have found that the "Gastro Bundle" from Jigsaw Health does wonders for me. What works for everyone out there that suffers from IBS?

ok i had my gallbladder removed 15 months ago after i had my little girl. for those of you who have had to have it removed you know what kind of pain it causes. now my question is that even though i had it removed sometimes i still have the pains like i had before it was removed i was wondering if this is a type of "phantom limb" or if it could be anxiety attackes or should i go to another doc to see if it was all taking out. also i have pics that they took during surgery and i dont see any of the gallbladder still there so im leaning towards anxiety attacks but i just wanted to know if anyone else has had these symptoms after having their gallbladder removed thanks

I just recently got a bad sore throat, but only on the right side. My ear pounds with pain, and my lymph node on the right side in my neck is very swollen as well. I went to the doctor, he gave Azythromacin that have not worked so far (and I only have 2 left, out of the 6 I was given). It hurts when i try to swallow food, and I don't have a runny nose and normal cold symptoms. I'm thinking it could be strep, but I believe he tested me with that instant test swab, and I don't think it was anything like strep, but it feel like strep. What is your input please???? Should I go to emergency?

My son just got over a what I'm pretty sure was a case of rotavirus. The whole small grade fever for 2 days, vomiting up his formula, extremely watery diarrhea for about 6-7 days. Mind you with the formula he also has mild reflux. He goes to daycare, but I was wondering other than take him out of daycare what can I do to help prevent it? and what causes it? besides the fact that it's contagious and can be easily spread from one child to the next.

No its not caffene or anything...I've just been tired and stressed and keeping my anger and sadness all to myself. I don't know if theres a psychological reason behind this...but it's been going on for a few weeks and even though they are muscle spasms...I want to know what causes it. Serious answers please.

My mom has had this for probably 13 years now, and has never gone into remission yet. I've tried telling her to try some herbal supplements or even using coconut oil, but she doesn't listen. I don't think she should have to suffer, especially for this long. Has anyone done anything supplemental to make theirs go into remission?

I just recently got a bad sore throat, but only on the right side. My ear pounds with pain, and my lymph node on the right side in my neck is very swollen as well. I went to the doctor, he gave me little pink pills that have not worked so far (and I only have 2 left). It hurts when i try to swallow food, and I don't have a runny nose and normal cold symptoms. I'm thinking it could be strep, but I believe he tested me with that instant test swab, and I don't think it was anything like strep, but it feel like strep. What is your input please????

I have it, and have been diagnosed for 18 yrs., and have had multiple surgeries. I have a lot of adhesions ( from the surgeries), and have been having a lot of problems with them lately. Does anyone else have adhesion problems that wrap around the bowel, closing it off causing partial or complete obstructions? No one else that I know has this problem.

My doctor says he can,t see any swelling.But it is getting me down now.It throbs all day and there,s a permanent ache behind my eye all the while.I take 4 strong ibrobrufen tablets but they don.t touch the pain.People comment on it so it is not just my imagination.Also when you put anything hot on it it hurts,but put anything hot on my other eye which is ok there is no pain.Could i have some sort of cyst or abscess in or on my eyelid that is causing all the pain and inflammation.

I have been getting tightness in my chest on and off. I've had it longer this time than any other time though. I don't smoke, have asthma or anything, or have a lot of stress, but I am overweight. I don't think it's a heart attack as I've gotten it before and I am only 20...what could be doing this?
