Just collecting data here:

Please pipe up if you've had gallbladder pain BUT NO (A) rocephin AND (B) evidence of stones and/or sludge via ultrasound or CT. I'm not talking about anything prior to Bb infection, rather, since infection and in the absence of stones, sludge, and rocephin treatment.

Also, I'd be interested if you also have any evidence of neurolyme/neuroborreliosis (e.g., MRI changes, CSF changes, SPECT scan hypoperfusion).

Thanks.

I had to have my gallbladder out about 20 years ago. I never had any stones. My gallbladder just burst. I had gallbladder disease.

I fainted on the way to the ER and the surgery was emergency (they thought at first it was my appendix).

Well before I was infected.

But it is possible to have gallbladder problems without any stones. And if you can have the evil organ removed as elective, it is much much better!!

I've had gb pain before. I still get it on and off when taking abx. Unfortuantely, I've had to go the atlernative route for the majority of my treatment. My ND thinks I have to many toxins when taking abx and that's whats causing pain.

Are you doing any kind of detoxing?

All my tests are normal...go figure.

Hi,

Started having pain in that area about 4 months ago. Had ultrasound with no evidence of stones. Am taking CSM which according to LLMD could be stirring things up. Possibly my gall bladder is not 100% and is having some trouble with the extra bile.

Dx'd 3 years ago.

Folks who have kindly answered this question regarding gallbladder pain in the absence of visible stones or rocephin use:

I need the additional piece of data regarding neurolyme, namely, any data supporting a diagnosis of neurolyme in your particular case?

Thanks.
