Hey Margit, How are you. I am feeling still miserable. My whole mouth hurts and my neck. I am starting to wonder if something else is causing this. It all started with reflux and laryngitis from that. Then a fever and terrible chills came on friday and felt kind of lousy all weekend. If this is all from acid reflux, WOW. Yesterday took prevacid, took today also. See if help. Also called my primary care and asked for erythromicin for 10 days. Just in case I have some kind of infection. Because my throat hurts and my nose inside the right nostril seems to be infected. Been using saline spray but to no avail. Other thing is I asked for erythromicin because I used it when I was younger (my doc always prescribed that for pharyngitis when i was a teen, young adult.) And it empties the stomach supposedly, we shall see. Not totally comfortable taking it without knowing if there really is infection somewhere. It also seems like my wisdom teeth that are supposed to get removed bec. they are partially impacted are kicking up some pain. So I am really a mess. About the reglan, how many times did you try it? And the motilium, how many times? About the propulsid, be absolutely sure your ticker is good. Go have a thallium stress test first. Just to be sure. Ask your doc. Margit, I am getting to my wits end with this whole thing. My mom-in-law said noooooooooo don't do a flush. She is an R.N. Knows someone who had a very bad experience. She thinks the gb should go. I just don't know what to believe anymore. TERRIBLY CONFUSED. My surgery is set for June 1. To be honest with you I am afraid to lose the gallbladder, but I am just as afraid to drink the flush stuff. Margit, do you have slow gastric emptying? And do you suffer from constipation as well, I keep wondering if I have some obstruction type of problem that has not been found yet. That is why I am afraid to do the flush. I think I would only do it under the supervision of a doc. Pretty fat chance of that. I met two people who had their gb out yesterday. And they both said it was the biggest relief. No problems afterward. There is nothing worse than not knowing what to do. And that is where I am at now.
Surprised that the reglan was more effective in stomach emptying than the motilium.
It does not seem to matter at all what I eat. I can eat real safe easy on stomach and gerd foods and suffer just as much if not more than eating a slice of pizza (which I have tried for the heck of it) I find it strange that there is no difference in the reactionary symptoms afterward. Well, enough complaining for now. I did not know that stones form in the liver. I have been told they form in the gallbladder. I will look into that. Take care, bud.
