Ongoing Discomfort.

[Guest guest]

Hello all.

I have to say it has been some time since I last visited this board.

I have been attack free for over two years thanks in part to this

board. I had high cholesterol and was prescribed Pravocol. I took

that and it reduced my cholesterol drastically. Between the flushes

and the medicine, I stopped having gallbladder attacks.

I now am facing a dilemma. I felt fine until a month ago. To begin

my story, I had to have a root canal done on a molar 3 months ago.

Only composite material wa used. I was given Erythromycin. I stopped

taking the Pravachol as it reacts badly with Erythromycin. When I

told my doctor that I had stopped taking the Pravacol he switched me

onto Lipitor for the cholesterol.

When I had taken Lipitor in a prior year, I had very bad reactions,

body aches, gal bladder attacks ect. I tried taking it for a week a

told the doc that I was not going to take anymore as it was making me

sick.

Question for you board members is:

In the last month I have had reoccurring Gall Bladder pain, bloating,

stomach cramps, pinching sensations in the abdominal region and

cramping back pain in the region of the kidneys. No difference in BM

or Urine. No difference on blood test. No explanation for the pain by

the doctor. I have had, what feels like, a steady low grade

Gallbladder attack for 8 days straight. I have to sleep sitting up

and get gas just from drinking water. Could this be a Candida bloom

or something? I have never had a Candida problem before so I am

unsure.

Any guesses or suggestions? I am open for anything to find relief at

this point. Thanks All.
