New to this group need HELP.......

October 31, 2003

Hello Group,

I have a few questions if someone could give me some input. I am an

obese female,34 and until recently never had any problems. Suddenly

(about a month ago)I had severe back pain for two or three days. I

thought nothing of it,figuring that I had slept wrong. Well then I

couldn't breathe and went to the emergency room. The doctors did all

sorts of tests on my lungs and heart then sent me home. NOT even 24

hours later I was doubled over in pain with my stomach and went back

to the er where I was told I had gallstones. Now my dilema is that my

I also have pancreatitis and so the docs wouldn't do surgery because

of the inflamation. Now it has been about a month since I have been

home and about 4 days ago I got severe pain in my right shoulder

blade along with some nausea. My family is pressing me to go to the

hospital but I am uninsured and frankly scared to death to get sawed

open. I am fearful that because of my weight I will have an even more

difficult time with surgery and the healing process. PLEASE point me

in an alternative direction. I am also a die hard realist who has

never really tried alternative medicine with the exception of herbs

and vitamins. So for those of you who have pancreatitis along with

gallstones please inform me on any success you have had with a

specific flush. I am scared that I may do more harm than good and

would appreciate any input. Thanks, Danette
