Re: Hope1979

Thanks for checking it out :) Bill got married so he shutdown the boards because he is the moderator. His dad recently had some heart trouble. So Bill has really been keeping it in order for him. A lot of people questioned his thoughts because of the heart trouble. He said it was because he didn't know about these things until way later in life. Anyway, he is a great doctor. He is getting up there in age, but he still makes every effort to reply to all messages. There are a lot of good people on the boards. We talk about everything from health to politics :) It is a lot of fun when Dr. Stoll gets into the discussions on politics too.

Back in 2000 at the age of 20 I was having bad chest pains and I went to the doctor and he did an EKG. It was normal and it never happened again until about a year later. This time it was right before Christmas 2001. I had this stabbing pain in my back. It was horrible. I realized that I hadn't had a bowel movement in a while and I got scared. The only thing that made me feel better was making myself purge orally. I know that is bad, but I couldn't get relief. I noticed that food I had consumed was in my stomach still from 2 days before. I decided to take a wait and see approach. Sure enough a year later in 2002 it was back. Same situation. I went to the doctor and she said she wanted to do an ultrasound. I started having some pains under the ribcage while waiting for the ultrasound. I self diagnosed myself with Gallstones and sure enough the ultrasound showed it.

Before the 3rd attack in 2002 I stared doing enemas by suggestion of a friend on Dr. Stoll's board. I haven't done one in a long time because I have been really regular. The only time when I am not is when I am having a gall bladder attack. Usually when I cheat and eat something I am not supposed to. Especially on the holidays :)

When you say a Bowel Cleanse is that what you mean? Or is there another less ladylike alternative (lol jk) :)

Sorry so long :) Thanks
