So, again with the good news, bad news.

Good news. It's definitely not my gallbladder. Ultrasound was normal, which is reassuring in the sense I don't need anything taken out. And I'm able to take Gravol for the nausea, which is already helping in terms of me try and eat - you're much more likely to try if you don't feel like it's about to come back up again.

Bad news... Well, the doctor doesn't know what it is. Yay mystery illness again. I swear, this is my body's way of ambushing me after 30-odd years of near-perfect health. I've had blood tests taken, and an abdominal x-ray, and the waiting game begins again. Pain's still there, a bit sharper after all the prodding today, still kind of gassy and blargh. Oh, and Gravol knocks me out - I passed out for a couple of hours, although that might have been the sunbeam I was lying in.

It's been a lovely day today, weather-wise. If I had to have a day to run around doctor's offices and medical laboratories, today was perfect.

Tomorrow's another day. Here's hoping there's something in there that shows up with the latest round of tests, and there's something we can do.

It's good it's not your gallbladder...'cause, man, it just affects you for the rest of your life in so many small ways! LOL. What about an ulcer? I know it's a little further over than where your stomach sits, but it could be on the side and inflammation is causing the pain to seem in the not-stomach area...

Yay for anti-nausea drugs. They've been my friend on occasions in the past (mostly involving food poisoning) and I hope it helps you.

Good luck, anyway. Hope they work it out quickly and you can get something that makes you better

Hi Rossi! Sorry to hear you've been unwell all this time. I'm coming into this late, so I don't know if you'd mentioned it before: did they check you for gluten-related allergies?
