Yeah. I had it right before my last herx too.
It is right at or above my belly button, and it HURTS. Not burns, not nausea, not anything normal tummy hurts.
It feels like I have a rock right there. It is heavy and it hurts to TOUCH it too. If I press on it --OUCH!
But it hurts when I am dont touch it either. I mean it hurts MORE when I touch it.
Eating doesnt change it. I am not stopped up, having 1 good BM a day.
Am taking nystantin and theralac....took an extra theralac today to help, but that isnt doing it either.
Anyone have this? Posts: 1950 | From New Mexico | Registered: Sep 2001

Trails: I don't know enough about this, maybe a physical examination by a physician could pinpoint exactly WHAT it is that is causing the pain. A doc would know where all the internal organs are, and could palpate the spot to evaluate it.
Is your temperature normal? If your temp were elevated, that might indicate an abcess or inflammation.
Do you have normal appetite? The fact that your bowels are moving normally is a good sign.
Any other symptoms? What happened the last time that you had this?
Hope you get some sleep. Carol

Thanks Carol!
I did rest well and I had 2 night mares and I know the herx is coming on---it is exactly 4 weeks since my last one on this med combo. Lucky me.
Well I wish I had tied this thread into the other one I started about craving protein coz obviously they are related SOMEHOW!?
I wont go to a duck who palpatates...I did that last month and they diagnosed GERD when it clearly was NOT that....and I took antacids and it did NOTHING.
I really think this might be a nerve thing. CHeck this out:
I also am having those pre-cramps in the rest of my body/muscle groups.
It is like a lump in your muscles--you can almost feel the lump---and they are gathering up speed to lay into a massive cramp, but the cramp does not happen. It just sorta gets more lumpy feeling, maybe a bit burny.
I was really feeling my body and trying to understand the sensations. I really think this is the same sensation but it is abdominal instead of in my biceps or calves.
I am going to do a coffee enema shortly.
Arent you glad you know that?

I get the same exact rock/pain before a herx. Never really thought about it though, just felt it was part of the 'ritual'.
Now I will have to research this. If you find out anything, please let me know.
Happy reading! Michele

Well, like I have had a lot of intestinal and colon problems throughout this whole lyme thing. I'm much better now and I'm not sure which thing helped me the most.
I still have some problems, but they aren't NEAR what they used to be.
The pain you talk about... could it be your liver?

Yeah..I think it might be related to liver/gallbladder. I had an Ultrasound done a week ago and I saw some stones in there. I have had lots of Usounds before and I know stones when I see em---they never faxed my doc (LLMD) the results.
I am waiting to hear from my LLMD about which type of stones and if disolvable by actigall this time. Have disolved them before.
The pain/blockage does feel more CENTRAL---right above beely button--so that doesnt seem like the right place, but I know it can refer and mover around.
Thanks!

After doing more research, I am somewhat convinced that I may have had/still have stome SMALL blockage/stone in my common bile duct. THAT seems like it is the right place and the right type of feeling and pain.
ANd of course fats would push it thru or try to and I have been posting about CRAVING PROTEIN, but mostly FATTY protein.
It is starting to come into focus people, and I dont like the image I am getting.
YIKES!

Trails, The referred pain from a bile duct blockage will be to the right shoulder blade.

yeah, that is not happening. Not having a gallbladder attack either---had a few of those---man that is one of the WORST.
Obviously not that painful. But still---if it was just SLOWLY going thru the duct but not stuck---would it make you feel like you had a rock in your tummy maybe?
