Hi Toastieoat - thank you for getting back to me, I hope you read this, I know it's been a long time since I posted that msg. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone, you're right, it is scarey. Those dr.'s really put you through the ringer, as usual! How can stones in the gallbladder cause such symptoms, do you know? You say you use Dr. Schulze 's intestinal flush, is that very hard on you? I've never done that, and I'm pretty nervous, I don't know what to expect. well, thank you for telling me your story, it made me feel better! thank you. Laura
