I went to my doctor yesterday and talked to him about the URQ pain that I have

experienced. He didn't say what he thought it was but he did say that the next

time that it happens, that he would like to get some blood to see what the LFT's

show during the pain. The last time, I was in so much pain that I went straight

home without doing the blood work. The next morning when I was fine, I went and

got the blood work done and it was fine.

This doesn't answer any questions but maybe it will lead to an answer at some

point. :)

Thanks for this description. I have the sludgey kind of attacks all the time.

For me the

URQ pain is more like a dull ache -- Like I have a small rock tucked up under my

ribcage

and it is just enough to make me sore. My husband and I usually spoon when we

get into

bed at night, but I can't stand to have his arm resting on my side anymore -- it

is way to

uncomfortable. I'm sleeping (when I sleep) on my right side more and more -- the

counterpressure feels so much better, I almost don't feel the URQ discomfort

that way.

I definitely need to up my fluid intake -- no doubt that would help.

And OT, but I saw a program on the Food Network once about lukefisk. I'm an

adventurous eater, but i doubt that would ever hit my plate! But neither would

rollmops!
