Dont laugh please!
just trying to help and figure out this diseaes.
Is it possible, that rocephin itself is not hard on the gallbladder, but rather the rocephin is killing off too much lyme, and the toxins clog the gallbladder, or something like this?
Why I say this is because... I had seen a health practioner in my town when I was desperate 2 years ago, before I knew i had lyme, and had my whole body scanned on the machine. Galbladder was a ONE, meaning a one is good, ten is bad.
Liver was a NINE.
One and half years later, went to same health practioner, when on the antibiotics for lyme, the biaxin and the flagyl, and the liver was then.. a ONE, the gallbaldder a TEN.
Hmmmmm, at that time, I had severely greasy skin, not normally like this.
I had been on the antibiotics for about... 3 months, and was improving.
I have since done some beet flushes, the first one a few days ago was so sick.
Beet flush is used for the gallbladder and liver. When I am feeling better, I am going to get some lemons and do some gallbladder flushes. We have tons of beets in garden so am doing the beet flushes daily. I know it is a sort of sweet vegie, but our beets are not that sweet, quite tart actually, so feel will be ok. I think that possibly doing these beet flushes will help with the lyme toxins... the antibiotics are creating, by killing the lyme.
Possibly, if one did gallbladder flushes or support on the rocephin, one would not need a gallbladder removed?
If I had my gallbladder showing up BAD after being on 3 months of antibiotics, (NOT rocephin) then that is telling me, any antibiotic may make the gallbladder plugged cause lyme is fat soluble toxin.
So, bottom line is... suppport or clean gallbaldder.
Radishes are fabulous for gallbaldder.
Maybe all the lyme toxins over time, and with antibiotic treatment clog gallbladder?
Clogged gallbladder can cause... many things. Allergies, bad digestion, so on.

So, you may want to learn how to use the search key...here's a link that will tell you how, step by step:

Good luck, and you do know that Rocephin sends the spirochetes into the cyst form, to put it simply. And, you may feel better while on it, once the big ole initial herx happens, only to crash big-time when you go off the Rocephin. Most LLMDs that realize this will not, but rarely, put their patients on Rocephin.
The ones that do always add another abx into the mix to zap them as they come out to play and reek havoc again when the Rocephin is removed.
I hope that you have an LLMD, so many new ones lately, even being on here everyday for many hours per day, I can't keep up with who has what.
Good questions, maybe why more haven't replied could be that they are not that up on the technical things of Rocephin and didn't answer and just srolled on by (SOB).
Anyway, good luck,

A little over a week ago I had a gallbladder attack (BAD, lasted about 2 hours and sent me to ER) and then had ultrasound that showed stones and a HIDA scan that showed "abnormal" function of gallbladder. I had my gallbladder out on Friday.
I have only been treated with oral Zithromax/Flagyl and two rounds of Mepron and two months of Larium over the last 18 months.
So, I don't know what caused the gallbladder problems, but now mine is gone...and I'm hoping for the best.
