ER doc diagnosis: "gallbladder sludge"... anyone relate?
(i apologize this might be the wrong place.)
I went in to ER with nausea/ vomiting on Thursday after not eating 4-5 days, (maybe a piece of fruit or bread once a day, no hunger)... ER doc ordered CT scan and ultrasound. Today is Sunday.
Result:
No biliary ductal dilatation. Layering hyperdense gallbladder contents. No discrete calculus appreciated.
No pericholecystic fluid/stranding
Layering hyperdense gallbladder contents, possibly sludge
GALLBLADDER: No gallbladder distention,
gallstones, wall thickening, or focal
tenderness. BILE DUCTS: Normal
CBD measurement: 4 mm
*********************
I had very dull pain for almost a week. I was given a GI referral. No counseling... Saturday I ate 3 saltines and slowly monitored my right upper quadrant pain.
later on Saturday I had a small piece of pupusa. And Cabbage. & managed a normal BM. (Sorry yall)
Sunday i had family visiting, i had 1 small plate of cesae salad and 1/2 slice of a deep dish pizza (terrible idea? i didn’t want my 16yo to worry I'm not eating.)
But I'm SO scared to eat now, but feel pain on empty stomach.
Appointment with GI doctor isn't until Tuesday.😭
