yes i did - yesterday i found a new dr and amazingly he listened and is a good dr
he sent me this morning to have a untrasound and i dont think we found anything.
a dr will review the results and i am going to see my new doctor (doc he calls himself) tomarrow to discuss them. He said even if we find nothing wrong in the u/s he wants to do a test that is the radation test. I forgot the name of the test.
crazy thing is i stopped my seasonale birth control yesterday and most if not all of the gallbladder pain is gone. i dont want to say anything to soon but i am not taking the pills anymore.
be back soon- gabi

Good luck with the new doctor. Sometimes we need to switch and it can be a good move to get a new perspective!


Be careful now that you've stopped the BC pills...be sure to mention this to the new doc!


Please let us know what you learn...

YOU MENTIONED BE CAREFULL NOW THAT I HAVE STOPED MY BC.
IS THERE ANY REASON OTHER THAN GETTING PG (WHICH IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE)
IS THERE ANY MEDICAL REASON?

My main concern was getting pg, but probably still a good idea to mention stopping the bc pills, since your hormone levels might be out of whack and cause subtle symptoms that your doc might miss, without knowing that you recently stopped them.

thank you for your ideas. Yes i am telling him today at my appt. I dont think I will ever get pg. i only went on the pill to try to help my feeling sick to my stomache. it allways seemed to happen at my period times so it made sence to curb the periods by getting on seasonale. that is when it worked and i did not get sick during the time i would have been on my period. instead i developed this new found acid reflux/heartburn, pain in gallbladder area. hummmmm such is my luck. i just keep reading the word birth control pills, when reading about causes for many digestive disorders. but nobody talks about it. i wonder how well known it is (birth control effecting the digestive system). I dont even know if stopping the pills will do the trick. it has only been 2 days off. i was on them for 5 weeks. i am also going to ask about bacteria and how to find out if i have any in my body.

well my dr said my u/s went fine, he did add some tests to my bloodwork at the lab.
he is sending me to a stomach dr. he did say i was to young for stomach cancer. does cancer really check my age before entering? hummmm well hopefully next year all will be done and i can look back on this and say "i am glad thats done"
i am going to stay off the seasonale until i'm done with my prilocec otc. i am on day 5.
