Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hello all, When I was hospitalised with gb problems and pancreatitis, the doctors gave me morphine and paracetamol, saying that they work very well together for this condition. I could have morphine every hour because of the pain of pancreatitis. Needless to say, I came off it after a couple of days after throwing up radio-active looking green stuff, which the nurses said was bile. I was also hallucinating dreadfully and imagining all sorts of things! I don't take paracetamol either now because my normal doctor told me it stresses out your liver and she told me to be careful with it. So, why oh why do they give you such stuff when it does such things to your insides? I had a headache yesterday and just drank loads and loads of water and it cleared it. A healing friend of mine told me that drinking lots of water can clear up a multitude of things and can help with depression, headaches, etc. Susie, I am the one who has been on Chinese herbs and I posted the ingredients that I know to be in the decoction a couple of days ago. They are just boiled up and simmered for half an hour and then strained. They really just look like a load of twigs and things you would sweep up after gardening, honestly!! You drink one half after your morning meal and the other after your evening meal. Tastes awful, really awful, but it seems to have worked so far for me. I haven't been on them for two weeks now and feel fine, as though the gb problems never happened. It was quite expensive in the short term, but not as much as if I had ended up having the op to remove the gb. Plus there are all the possible complications and risks which I don't want. I am just taking the normal gb supplements like milk thistle, dandelion root, soya lecithin, cod liver oil and taurine now. Am watching my diet, like everyone else, too, although by no means am I being a saint in that department. Just everything in moderation (apart from the bad fats and trigger foods). I would never have been able to get my self better if it hadn't been for the advice on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
