so my hida scan showed a problem. I meet with a surgeon at the end of the month. If I need to have it out does that mean I can't take abx any more?
This sucks, I had an appointment with my LLNP today and she wants me to try IV doxy for the RMSF and brucella.
I'm scared about this.

- Well, if I had to the end of the month, I'd be doing other things in hopes of preventing the need for the surgery. Specifically:
ACUPUNCTURE. DIET (with an Ayuvedic approach)
Formulas containing: CHANCA PIEDRA - or RHUBARB.
==============================
It's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL (lyme literate) doctor who has completed four years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -
- and someone who is current with ILADS' research & presentations, past and present.
While they may not be your primary LL doctor, it's vital they know all this to be able to treat you.
Bulk, raw herb used for tea, also available by the pound.
Be sure to click onto their "Tropical Plant Database" page for this herb to learn more about its properties and history. Solid third-party research citations.
This large root was one of the first herbs that the Western world imported from China.
It serves as a very reliable laxative, and also has other benefits: enhancing appetite when taken before meals in small amounts, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain in cases of injury or inflammation, and inhibiting intestinal infections.
Rhubarb also reduces autoimmune reactions.
The impact of rhubarb is influenced by how it is prepared; if it is cooked for a long period of time, the laxative actions are reduced but other actions are retained. Typical dosage is 0.5-3 grams per day.
Caution: rhubarb, alone or in formulas, should not be used by those with irritable bowel conditions, as it may cause cramping and diarrhea. . . . -

- While I think ACUPUNCTURE is best, VISCERAL Manipulation with someone trained in the UPLEDGER technique is also something to consider.
Just search key terms. -

I agree with Keebler in that I would do everything I could to get my gallbladder healthy again. Since it's not an emergency situation, it seems you have time on your side.
Good luck.
