Re: Doc, another comment, PLEASE!
Ouch. Yeah, many many times. Was very hesitant to go out in public in case the pain hit. Had to go sit down or just sit there and try not to make a fool out of myself. Or driving the car, anywhere, it can be a real pain in the butt. It DOES go away though. You'll also get a bit of pain when the liver gets healthy and shrinks back to its normal size. That pulls on the ribs a bit. And, of course, there's that mid back pain. Nothing structurally wrong just the reflex from the liver. Plus your neck will stiffen up. Are we having fun yet???
You just stick with it, a couple months from now all this will be behind you and you'll be the one answering the questions from others who you've talked into doing this. It's worth it, you're already healthier than you were a few months ago and you can see by what's coming out of you that you HAD to be sick.
There are no stupid questions when it comes to this stuff. If you've got questions never be afraid to ask. You'll be the one doing the answering some day. For now keep on going. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting nearer.
Doc
