Dear :

My left side pain started to get a lot worse when I was tapering my

prednisone. When I went down to 7 mg, within 3 days it was unbearable. I

wasn't sure if there was a connection, or if it was a fluke, so I tried to

continue on the lower dosage. The pain got so bad I couldn't bear it and I

ended up at the ER twice. There was nothing that they could do for me other

than give me pain shots. In desperation I went back up to 7.5. It helped

within a week, but the pain still continued at a dull roar. That's when all

the joint pain and muscle pain really kicked in too, and I ended up at the ER

again for chest pain. That ended up being from the muscles of the chest

wall. More pain meds! I then went back up to 8 mg. and have leveled out on

the left side pain. It's still there, but bearable unless I sit too long.

The joint pain has remained strong and has started bothering me all over.

The hepatologist told me he thought I had something else auto immune going

on, but wasn't specific.

Well, I didn't mean to go on so long everyone! Started out trying to answer

's question about prednisone and ended up venting instead! Thanks for

listening!

, it is under the ribs and around the back above the hip bone. Spasm

type pain with waves of a sharper pain...perhaps a kidney stone on the

horizon? I have never had one of these before but, I don't seem to have the

rest of the stuff that goes along with colitis, just the pain and weakness

for the last 3 days. I see the internal med doc on Monday. I am eating a

high carb diet, no meat until then. Sheri Lynn

Hi Dawn,

No, nothing ever came of this. It didn't seem like a common symptom so

it's still on the back burner. My left side pain (discomfort) preceded my

hyperT by 5-7 years. I still have the left side discomfort, but not the

hyperT so I just don't know if it's connected.

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Did anything ever come of this " left side " thing? I started off

feeling pain in my left upper quadrant in April 1999 - that was my

main concern for nearly 17 months, until I got a GD diagnosis. I

wonder now if I had/have pancreatitis or some other pancreatic

problem - I read your info on pancreatitis often being followed by

hyperT due to decreased absorbtion and it fits with me as I was

mysteriously intolerant of alcohol all of a sudden and had a slightly

elevated amylase reading.

However, I am curious about the undefined nature of GD. It seems to

me that hyperT is the end point of the disease, not the beginning, it

would be so much easier if we could identify it at the beginning.

Quite a few of us seem to be ill for months before it shows in our

blood. If there are lots of us experiencing upper left quadrant pain

prior to our blood tests revealing hyperT, maybe something we cannot

yet detect is happening " on the left " in the early stages of this

disease/ deficiency. I wonder if the pancreas is actually the first

organ to be effected by GD/copper deficiency. Is it possible there

is a pre-hyperT state that might be identifiable in the end, or do

you think it is more likely that there are just many paths to

becoming hyperT and a pancreatic problem is just one of them?

MY LEFT SIDE DISCOMFORT/PAIN

Nearly everything going wrong in my body is on the left for me: pain

in my chest, pain in my upper abdomen (organ) and lower abdomen

(ovary?), pain in my upper left ribs, back and shoulder blade area ,

shoulder bone, wrist bone, fingers, elbow bone and ankle bone; great

big dark floater in my left eye and finally now, my thyroid gland is

painful on the left and not the right and is protruding goitreously

from my neck much more on the left, (it feels and looks a bit like a

testicle or a small boiled egg under the skin !)

Been reading the archives today and SO impressed.

Didn't comment before - all my symptoms/pains are on the right. But then I

I also have pain, but on the right side, under the rib cage... like a burning sensation....

[Guest guest]

hi audrey,

i had right side pain for 4 months after my surgery in march 2005.

pain started day of surgery and i mentioned it to my dr. the day after

surgery. he said he said he put in some extra stitches in that

incision, something about the muscle....

anyway it was still hurting 6 weeks later and i flew to dallas where

my dr. was having a get together for his patients and doing fills. he

put in some cortizone shots because he thought it just needed more

time to heal. he said if it doesn't get better in a few weeks to let

him know. well first of july i called and told him i could not take

the pain anymore something had to be done. he told me to go to my

local dr. and have an ultrasound ran to rule out gallbladder, i did

that, gallbladder was ok.

i flew back to my dr. and he cut back into that incision and removed

some of the stitches and i have not had a pain since that day.

the thread used was kinda like an extra fine wire with a coating and

where it was tied the knot was sticking into a nerve. that simple

thing had given me 4 months of pain. he gave me the stitches and i

still have them.

i posted to several sites when this was happening to me and noone knew

what it could be so i guess it doesn't happen often. thats why i kept

waiting thinking it would go away and because i have fibromyalgia i

thought my muscles were just staying sore longer.

i hurt every day and went 3 months without losing any weight after 3

fills and since i've been out of pain i've lost around 8 lbs. i just

couldn't put my mind to what i needed to do with the pain always there.

i'm just happy to be pain free and at least the scale is going the

right way, it may be slow but at least its moving.

i hope your pain goes away soon and it isn't anything bad, just

thought i would let you know my experience just ic case it may be

something similar, but i hope not.

take care,

Audrey,

I would doubt it's much to worry about. Most likely it is from the scar tissue

forming around the port area where it was sewn to the muscle fascia. Try not to

sleep on that side if it causes discomfort. Also a try some mild pain killer

like Tylenol. It won't be much longer til you suddenly wake up one morning and

that pain is gone!

I'm guessing this is the area where your port is placed? If so, it's

common for it to be very sore and easily " pulled " for 4 weeks or more.

It is a deep wound, and lots of nerves were cut (as is needed) when the

As we become more active after recovery, it's common to become even a

bit MORE sore.

A warm heating pas will speed healing, and plain tylenol (cut into

pieces) is fine, as long as you have no liver problems or sensitivity

to tylenol.

If the pain persists, please see your family doc or band surgeon. With

any type of chronic pain in the abdomen (either right or left side), we

begin to consider possible gallbladder problems.

They are much less common with the slow weight loss of banding, but

many of us already have the beginnings of gallstones or gallbladder

disease from all the crash and yo-yo diets we have been on for years.

Very interesting! I haven't herd of that before - but it could make

sense..

The band has nothing directly to do with your uterus or other things

involved in your period, and there is no connection to your diaphragm.

BUT, during our periods, we can retain water, which can swell the

intermal tissues including the area around the band, and THIS could

cause some added pressure on the diaphragm leading to pain.

Be certain that you stay well-hydrated, if your band is this sensitive

to small bodily changes. If you get dehydrated at all, you can have

swellignn that makes the band seem tighter, or causes this diaphragm

pain. Sandy R

[Guest guest]

Yes, yes, yes to all. Pain was so severe ended up at doctors office.

He very rudely told me nothing could cause that severe of pain in the

left portion of abdomen/body!! Just thought I was whiny female.

Bee's diet has relieved me of most all of those complaints. I have not

been as strict as she encourages, and may have some problem in future.

Do have some lymph nodes swollen in subclavian area to right side.

Remember that if you eat packaged foods, that gluten can sneak in and

cause terrible cramps. Words like " modified " - anything -is usually from

wheat gluten. That was a big cramper for me....pre-Bee.

And Tylenol, especially combined with some meds caused a flu like

feeling to me. I have completely stopped all meds like/with Tylenol.

Must be some liver enzymes weakness.

So thankful for Bee and this site.

[Guest guest]

Zuni...thanks for the reply.

I have been on Bees plan for a long time, about a year, and doing

this sort of eating plan for 1 1/2 years and before that a low carb

plan excluding all the junk of some low carb plans. I havent been

completely strict. I have had maybe 1 small (quarter size) gluten

free animal cracker from my daughter here and there(like 3 months in

between), half/half organic coffee, almond flour and some properly

soaked nuts...but no boxed foods of any kind, cakes, pies, pasteries,

pizzas ect...none of that. I have been very good because I know what

will happen if I have that.

I have had some different brand supplements that I am checking into

because they did not list what they main contain. NowFoods usually is

good at putting what is and what is not on the label but this time

they did not with a milk thistle I bought.

I am still trying to get all my other supplements from Bees list

together but funds run short at time. I am lacking vitamin E and cant

seem to take the chloraphil(sp) yet. I take that and I have a problem

the next day. I am weening into some of these things to make sure my

reactions are small. I am still thinking that maybe I reacted to the

red peppers and maybe to much coconut oil?

My lymph nodes are not swollen anywhere...just a bit achey like you

get when they are doing their job when flooded with junk from our

system. Hey..maybe the posions that are released are what is the

problem? This wears my brain out! To much to keep thinking about but

it irritates me that I dont have answers.

I also take good enzymes and betain. Who knows....it just bothers me

that I dont know.

Yes...I am VERY happy there is a site here that helps us and Bee and

the team are just absolutely great! If it were not for this site I

would still be chasing down whatever system everyone else doing.

Healign this and healing that insted of letting the whole body heal

together as one with proper care.

Blessings to you Zuni!

==>Pains like you describe on your left-side with burning could be

either the liver or gall bladder or both. The liver handles toxins

so it can hurt off and on, and if you haven't had much fats in the

past the gall bladder could be acting up while it adjusts to more

protein and fats. I found that putting wet heat on the area helps.

==>What you are experiencing are symptoms caused by toxins. I

experienced all of the symptoms you describe during the first part of

my candida program in the mid 1980s. Owweee my liver hurt almost

unbearably. I was under the care of a holistic M.D. and she

prescribed coffee enemas. They help your liver and lymph glands

(adrenals)decongest and detoxify. Also do other things to help you

detox: dry skin brushing or rebounding on a mini trampoline or

jumping rope, drink 4-5 cups of Pau d'arco tea per day, Epsom salt

baths, the lemon juice & ocean sea salt drink, etc. as listed in my

article.

Why would the liver/gallbladder cause left side pain when they are both

located on the right side of the body?

Hi Bee...thanks so much for your reply.

I have to say I am having a heck of a time trying to get up to

exercise. At times I feel like I do many other things except take care

of myself proper. I am under a lot of emotional problems at this time

with a seperation in order and the crap he does to me. Its very

overwhelming. I am also spending all the energy I can to take care of

my daughter and do everyday chores to make this apartment clean. I know

it doesnt sound like much but it is with my fatigue. I am trying better

on my better days.

I am very anxious about doing the enemas. I have a small bathroom and I

already have a hard time with loose bowels that I am afraid I will make

a mess. I am going to search about colonics in my area. Maybe that road

would be better for me? I use to have to use suppositories when I was

pregnants with . It was to help me hold down food/water. It went

in and as soon as it was in my body right away wanted to expel it and

it was painful and hard to try to keep it in.

When I start to drink the lemon and salt it makes me nausous and even

if I get one down the next day I feel like I ate a ton of salt and the

bloat is there, swelling and an odd sensation/feeling of what your body

can feel like during hot/humind days...very weird and uncomfortable. I

also get more brain fogged, headachey, out of charactor feelings and

more eye irriations/allergy. I tried just some plain lemon with water

adn a tad of stevia and the same thing happened. Could it me my body

just doesnt like lemons? Odd huh?

I am trying Bee....I visualize one day just having that perfect feeling

everyday and having that energy to work, play and do all God has

intended me to do in this life.

Blessings,

Carol

Sorry I was hardly awake when I wrote that. You are right, the liver

& gallbladder are on your right side, not left side. Your spleen is

on the left side, and if the pain was lower it could be the adrenal

gland or the kidney.

That's okay Bee...I just wondered.

Btw...I have meant to ask you this for awhile now. I only have one adrenal

gland. I had the left one removed in 1991 when I had MEN-2 (a type of

cancer). Can the fact that I only have the one remaining be causing extra

adrenal fatigue?

For the most part I am doing really well on the diet but every once in

awhile I will suddenly feel like I've run into a brick wall. For no

apparent reason I just get overwhelmingly tired and can barely move.

==>Colonics might be a good alternative for you, but do ensure you

get someone who doesn't go too far up the bowels; only the large

colon should be involved. Also some practitioners recommend that too

many are done (means more money for them), and they should not be

done too close together so the large bowel has time to re-adjust and

go back to performing it's important functions, i.e. 4-5 days apart.

adrenal gland. I had the left one removed in 1991 when I had MEN-2

(a type of cancer). Can the fact that I only have the one remaining

be causing extra adrenal fatigue?

==>My, you've really had it rough haven't you Ellen? Yes having only

one adrenal gland will cause more adrenal fatigue, but your body will

compensate for it as you continue on this program. It is

particularly important for you do dry skin brushing every day. If

you haven't done them before start with 1 per day and gradually

increase them like it states in the File on it. Or you can do re-

bounding on a mini trampoline. It is very important for the

adrenals, and the entire endocrine system to get exercise and/or

stimulation. They do not have a pump like the heart does, so in

order for them to move fluids around exercise or dry skin brushing is

very necessary.

in awhile I will suddenly feel like I've run into a brick wall. For

no apparent reason I just get overwhelmingly tired and can barely

move.

==>Do ensure you are only eating foods recommended. Any kind of

indiscretion, as well any stresses, will cause a great deal of

fatigue for you. It would also be good for you to do Breathing

Exercises - see the Folder " Breathe Right " .

Thanks Aliza, I am going to discuss my pain with my doc this Wed. I have not

taken any more Tylenol #3 . They just make me nervous with all I have heard and

read. Take care; Eva

Eva: I know the feeling you can go through with those pains, i have

gone to er on several occations thinking it's a heart problem and they

do an ekg and bang it's over. Funny you should feel the same thing i

feel exept i have had a numb feeling on my left arm since gleevec for

1yr. 1/2 and shoulder blade/neck pain and lower back pain since then.

makes getting things done very hard not to mention the gastriti. if u

are concerned best to be safe than sorry have it checked out for ur

peace of mind I thnk ur better off with motrin type pain meds. rather

than tylanol

good luck aliza yaffa rochester n.y.

Well I have had constant bone pain since I was dxed in April 04 and started

Gleevec. I take 4 500mg of loritabs a day, but in most the pain subsides, if

it doesn't

you might want to look into those instead of tylenol 3's. All they did was

make me sleep and

sick to my stomach.
