Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Hi everyone, You may remember I posted (about a month ago) my story so far (7 flushes). This weekend I did no.8. Passed only about 40-50 small stones (mainly grain sized)and so feel that I am now more or less clear and plan to revert to twice yearly flushes from here on in. Coincidentally, we had a friend staying over the weekend who is a hospital doctor. I had hoped to produce something in the flush to offer him for analysis, but as it happened everything was too small. Fortunately I had a couple in the freezer from several flushes ago, including one of my 25mmm monsters. He's going to try to get these analysed in his path. lab. I've suggested, in view of past difficulties reported on this site, that he simply asks whether or not these are gallstones, perhaps with an analysis. Will keep you all posted. Someone was asking what benefits us flushers experience from the undertaking. In my case I've gone from having attacks of varying ferocity every few weeks to having none at all since I started flushing (about six months now). Also, my energy levels have shot back up to where they were about five years ago. I had put the loss of energy (and constant tiredness) down to old age. I've even gone up a rung on my fitness regime (first time for six years!) Also the muscular fatigue I had experienced in my legs for several years when cycling (I do a lot) has completely gone. I've even shaved five minutes off my journey to work! Generally speaking, its put the fizz back in my life. Hope this gives some idea of the benefits I've experienced Regards to all, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
