I'm baaaack :) *LONG*

[Guest guest]

Hello Group,

It's been a while since I've dropped by to check messages and

participate in conversation, because I naively thought it was all

over. I started thinking about doing another flush as soon as a got

a free weekend, then my butt got kicked into action by my 2nd attack

(maybe my third...)last Friday evening. I called my

gastroenterologist to see if he could help me determine if it was

truly a gall bladder attack and see if we could try to figure out a

way to not have them. His response, through his nurse, was that

he could refer me to a surgeon. Since my last troubles were in

November, I really don't think surgery is even an option.

I started taking my liver herb combos regularly again, as well as the

HCl/Ox bile supplement, and I plan on picking up flush ingredients on

my next trip to the organic market...I'll try not to puke up the oil

this time I'm thinking about hunting down a place that will do a

colonic, but I'm not sure I have the money for it and am not brave

enough to do it myself just yet.

Assuming what I experienced was a gall bladder attack, I cannot find

any similarity between my first attack and this (which I hope is my

last). Food was different, activity level was different. I'm not

sure how my monthly cycle would figure into it...I've never bothered

keeping track of it. One thing I'm afraid of though, is that my

birth control pills are contributing to all of this. I know it is a

side effect of all hormonal contraceptives...

At least this time the attack was somewhat amusing. I knew I would

vomit eventually and we (my mother, my boyfriend, and I) were on a

drive from Detroit to a little past Pittsburgh and stopped at a wild

animal park. They were both worried about me, but I insisted on

stopping since it had been closed the last 2 times I tried to stop.

That was where I yakked...next to the Yak exhibit! Then, my mother

pulled the only absorbent thing she had out of her purse for me to

wipe off my mouth -- a pantyliner.

Ah, my family. Oh yeah, my cholesterol is 248. I see a nutritionist

in a few weeks to work on that.

cleansing hugs,
