I had surgery to remove my gallbladder back in August 2004. I had stones and I had got to the point to where I couldn't even walk. It was so painful. I went through at least five doctors before one found out that my pain was due to stones in my gallbladder. At first everyone thought that it was gas or acid build up. So I was put on Nexium, given Maalox, and even Aciphex. All of these medications didn't work at all. Since the surgery, I still experience the same pain as before. It's constant pain (always there) and sometimes it get real extreme. I've been through everything from simple medication to a biopsy. And still my pain persists. I just want to know if there is anyone out there experiencing the same pain or someone who has gone through the same surgery and how you cope with it or if there is anything I can do to get rid of the pain.

If a person accidentally ingested raw chicken 1-3oz is it possible to mitigate the "possible" effects of food poisoning by drinking a 16-20 oz of Vodka ?
Or is this just crazy drunkard logic?

When i'm on the verge of falling asleep, I sometimes get jerking limbs.... erratic movements, usually doesn't happen in the day, just pretty much at this time. Could this signal anything wrong with me and is this classified as seizures?

For months now I've been getting this pain immediately below the center of my ribs. It starts off as a tight feeling and gets progressively more painful. It hurts just to touch the area and feels a lot like being punched in the stomach very hard.
Last night it got so bad I started vomiting.
I went to a doctor about a week back but by the time I got to see them I was fine again. Usually it lasts about 6 hours.
I will be going to another doctor, I just want to know if anyone has any ideas what it could be.
It's bugging me.

My symptoms:

Headache- mainly in my temples

Very hot/sweaty even though everyone around me is cold. I made my husband turn off the heat and turn on the air conditioner because I'm so hot and sweaty.

Nausea- today I was at work helping a customer (I'm a bank teller) and literally had to run to the bathroom to throw up- it hit me instantly.

Diarrhea and runny stools for the past few days.

Tired/ exhausted/ lethargic


I'm 25 years old and doubt that I'm pregnant. I did miss a few b.c pills and we used the pull out method but that was a week ago and I wouldn't have symptoms this early anyway. Does this sound like the flu? 24 hour bug? Something else? I don;t want to go to the doc if its nothing.

I gave my girlfriend half of one of my 7.5mg Lortabs, and she got called by an employer for a job and they want her to take a drug test tomorrow. Also if she took some of those system cleaner you can get at GNC would that help her pass it?

lately ive been feeling really sick, but its only comes in like 10 minute waves. ill be totally fine one minute and the next i cant even move because i feel so nautious and like im going to throw up and get so light headed like im going to pass out. all i can do is lay down or curl up in a ball and close my eyes and sit as still as possible. my stomach gets upset easily and i do throw up often because of this. the reason i ask is because, i want to know why i only feel so sick as to the point of paralyzation but for only 10-15 minutes at a time, after that i feel completely fine. ive been getting this for maybe a year now but not frequently, but recently its probably at least once a day. it may be cause im stressed out but i dont think so.

My whole life I have struggled to smell anything. I can only smell certain things which are strong, such as gasoline, cigarette smoke, poop (unfortunately), and a few other things, like some freshly baked foods depending on what it is. For the most part, I can never smell ANYTHING. This worries me a lot. I have seasonal allergies but I am like this year round, even during the winter. What can my problem be and how can I fix it?

I'm curious about this therapy. I hope to get some answers from people who have tried it. I've done a little bit of research but haven't come up with too much on it and find that the success rate varies from clinic to clinic. The one here claims a 95% success rate and another (I'm not sure of the location) boasts a mere 60%.

im 18 male and i have alot of gray hairs, prolly about 40-60 on the top of my head going in a streak pattern. Also i have a few sprinkled on other areas of my head. The first gray hairs i got were when i was about 13 years old. They rapidly increased throughout the years. I think my grandfather went gray at a relatively early age but my bro doesnt have any. I usually pull them out with tweezers when I can cuz my hair is dark black and u can really notice them easily if ur tall enough me being 6'1. Sometimes when i pull them out the ROOT is BLACK and the tip is white! I thought once a hair went gray it will never have color again! Its not bleached or anything, i dont put any coloring or bleaching products in my hair. Is this mostly genetic or can it be a hormone problem or deficiency of some sort?

i am recently undergoing alot stress. my job sucks, i miscarried twice in three years, i found i have hpv and premature cancer, and this just in, i might have gotten raped as a child. i've been having aweful dreams, my body aches, i'm constantly having to go to my doctor because of something- an infection or blacking out and i have been getting flashbacks of being molested by family friends. i've let myself go, i've balloned up to 268 pounds, i'm down to 249 which took much effort. i'm happily married and yet feel i'm holding my husband down. and recently i've been crying ALOT! i have been crying for 4 days now and can't get these terrible thoughts out of my head. and it's so hard because i try to follow what everyone tells me about forget about the past but it's not that easy. i feel i may be depressed, are these signs. oh and i'm usually a good eater but today all i've had is a protien bar and cup of coffee. i left work early because i was getting to emotional.

i had my tonsils removed and i slept all day yesterday and when i wasn’t sleeping i was eating ice cream and peanut butter. Today i have been very dizzy all day and unable to stand (my Mom has been having to wait after me all day). is this bc of some kind of lack of vitamin? i have only been able to eat soft food like the following...
-Chicken noodle soup --with out the chicken =(-Peanut butter-Ice cream-Apple sauce-And Vanilla pudding
is there any thing else i could be eating?
i have been getting the hiccups a lot and bc my throat is so sore none of the old tricks work to get rid of them and it hurts me so bad when i get them. what can i do to keep them from coming? Any other tricks besides holding your breath and sipping water?
Oh BTW I have been taking lortab for pain (it is so nasty!) and an antibiotic to keep from getting any kind of infection. And have also been drinking as much water as i possibly can. What else can i do? I am 16 incase this has something to do with it thanx
