Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Dave,Hi! Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't actually taken off the Ursodiol until about a week before they found the stones. I'd been on high dose for several years prior to that. Would that lag time be enough time for the stones to form or would they have had to have been there all along? Any idea? Also, they say my cholesterol level is fine. Is this a different type of cholesterol?Thanks! Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Sandi; No need to apologize; and it's not silly at all! Sounds as if the stones may be quite large, and so this would make it less likely that they could have formed during one week as a result of being taken off of urso ... perhaps your doctor might be able to make a better estimate of approximate time taken to form stones of that size? Best regards, Dave R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi, Dave! Hope your day's gone well! :)I plan to ask my doctor when I see him again. He was so busy being floored by the size of them and the fact that they existed, I didn't even think to ask him too much in the way of details! lol I know he wants to see me back every month and a half to two months so he can sort of watch the progression of the growth. So, I guess I'll have some answers then! :)Enjoy the weekend!Sandi in VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
