"Lyme Disease" (connievc)

MDJunction to me

carmen33"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

Ok so i dont get how sme people go thru years and yers of abx and r just fine, while after a month i have my liver enzimesȘ

TGP (0-42) i have 90

TGO (0-37) i have 44

Plus i feel bloated all the time and have some pain and burning around my liver. I didnt really find a god cholagog 2 prevent the gallbladder stones from Ceftriaxone, just drank some herbal tea and took 1 bilichol per day instead of 3. So i dunno if the symptoms r from my liver or from my gallbladder, but i think im gonna stop the treatment 2 days earlier and take a break. Doc said to finish and then i can take a break. But im 2 scared bc of the nasty symptoms and i tink im gonna end it in the morning. I don wanna take out my gallbladder, bc it will hurt my whole body 2 have a missing organ so i will try 2 prevent it. I think i need a break from allthe abx. Do u have any suggestion- of course u r not doctors i know the drill Wink just askin 4 a human opinion, my minds already made up. Thank u.

Do you mean take out your gall bladder? Bile is the cholesterol based substance that is stored in it.

I myself lost my gall bladder a Hyda scan showed that it had only 17% of it's normal function. This is what could be messing with your liver enzymes. Mine were above normal too but not as high as yours.

Having it out is not bad at all. It was actually a relief. It's the lyme that destroys the gall bladder not the antibiotics. Mine was so diseased my doctor was shocked by it. These symptoms started long before I took any meds for the lyme. I feel much better now that I took it out

Thanx 4 the answers cakeluva. Yeah i meant gallbladder but English is not my mother tongue lol. Thanx 4 bearing with me. i edited the post. Thins is i never had these symptoms until the last days, after almost a mnth with ceftriaxone. It is supposed 2 be excreted 95% thru the gallbladder, that is why it is known to be able 2 caus gallbladder stones. Last night it was quite unpleasant 4 me, bc of the bloating, slight pain/discomfort and feling of burning. I dont plan 2 take out my gallbladder, so im tryin 2 not let it get 2 this. Ill se my GP today and see what she says. Thanx 4 the thoughts.
