Hello Telman,

I am enjoying making my way through reading your blog. Very interesting. You have been through alot. Your dedication is inspiring.

I must say, this list of symptoms seems like what I am dealing with regarding my left sided pain. I have felt it is something bulging under my rib cage, toward the center. many of these symptoms make sense.
How is this diagnosed? And how is it treated?

I learned something very significant, when you were speaking about the drug amitryptline (sp) or elavil causing problems of food not being digested in the stomach, leading to biliary difficulties and then gall bladder removal. I had my gall bladder removed after taking elavil for two years. And I never knew the connection until now.....maddening actually, that the doctor did not make that connection either.

I too have CFIDS and FMS. I have been dealing with it for over 20 years now, and all the varied issues that go along with it. I have not taken any medicine for many years, but my body is still paying for when I did. i.e. the loss of my gall bladder.

I am glad to hear that your CFIDS and FMS is so much improved, and that your quality of sleep is improved. I long for good quality sleep.

thank you for sharing your story here. I am learning so much from you and others on this site. I will be coming here for years, I believe. And I will be cleansing for years.
