Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I totally understand what you are going through. I too have SD, and have had the pain you speak of at times in the rib area on the left, but mostly on the right, as you describe, and I too was thinking it was possibly a gallbladder issue. In addition to this, I ended up in the emergency room about two months ago, and had a blockage in my intestine. They put me on pain meds, and a strong antibiotic, other than what I am currently taking, and I could only drink water and clear broth for 5 days. By the third day I felt so much better. I am currently feeling exactly as I did two months ago, like I am heading for that same problem again, just a bit less pain this time. The pain is very low on my left side, kind of where you would expect your ovary to be. I have asked to be put on digestive enzymes in the past, to no avail. I will admit, I am not as faithful with probiotics as I should be, but am making a huge effort to be sure that I take them each day without fail. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hello everyone, it's been a while since I have posted. I was doing better but I'm now having digestive problems. I was diagnosed with SD back in 2002 and I see Dr. Franco. I have been on minocin and have done the Clindy IV's and am now only on oral clindy. My main problems are some skin discoloration and red spots on face and a few other areas of my body. I also had skin changes around my ankles but that is much better. The worse problems I have encountered other than the joint pain and very limited flexibility and strength in my legs as well as fatique have been problems with swallowing which are now practically completely gone and now these digestive problems. I am currently getting a pain right under the breast bone area - like where people usually get the gallbladder pain. I have already had my gallbladder removed. I get very nauseaus and there is no relief until I actually throw up several times. This completely drains me and sometimes keeps me out of work for several days. My local doctor doesn't really appear to know what is going on and I won't be able to go see Dr. Franco until this summer. I feel like I'm just not digesting well. This comes and goes. I go weeks and weeks without any problems at all and then it hits unexpectedly. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
