Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Hello everyone/anyone out there: I had my first attack ever January 29th ending up in emergency (x2) and a few after until I knew what to avoid, etc. until the initial specialist appointment of this March 4th. Ultrasound showed 20 small stones less than 1 cm. Until I saw the specialist I received some good advice from a herbalist to use ginger and tea to relieve the horrible symptoms. It works. I also for the past two weeks have been seeing an accupuncturist who virtually from the very first treatment has completely taken away my symptoms!! No longer need the ginger and tea either. I of course was told by the specialist at my appt. to have the surgery as it is inevitable, and that it's a year's waiting list for the surgery anyway. I signed the papers then and left. My doctor said he would give me an ultrasound before the surgery (after I requested it) as I had been doing so good with the accupuncture. This is all for now.. If anyone has any feedback from experience it would be very welcome. Thank you. CJ P.S. Have always been very fit, very active, eat low fat foods by choice and preference and not overweight at all or near it, but am female and forty.
