    I had an ultrasound on my gall bladder, liver, ribs etc last year (all clear) but was at St Lukes (Calvary) and the chickie that did it took about half an hour looking at all my bits... I can't remember how much it cost me though sorry.

    What about your liver ? Has there been any mention of that ?

    Lets catch up !

    I have no idea what is wrong, but I hope you can get to the bottom of this.

    I get that searing pain too under my right ribs when pregnant. When i first got it they thought gallbladder too because it was such a crippling pain but I had an ultrasound and there was nothing wrong. They just put it down to one of those things that can't be explained.

    Well I have a scan at 4.30 today (Jahzara, I wanted to go to St Lukes, but they sent me to St Vincents instead) and I have to fast for 6 hours!!!!! So I've had a sanga, glass of milk and a fruit bar, so hopefully that will tide me over for the rest of the arvo. Ridiculous.

    Antheia - thats the diagnosis I'm scared of getting too... just one of those unexplained things.

    mel, had a thought, i replied on your fb that it sounded like gallstones, my gallbladder was removed in sept, but then i remembered a couple of months ago, i picked miff up, 2 minutes later, i was on the ground in the foetal position, massive pain between my ribs and shoulder blades, thought i was going to faint. i ended up spewing everywhere, then xavi called me, i turned around, my back clicked and the pain and nausea ended. the pain this day was so similar to the last attack of gall stones i had.

    so, point of my rambling - how's your back going??

    Boobaloo - I know we've chatted on FB since your post so I won't answer it here

    Well I had my scan, and all looks fine. No gallstones. Other organs look fine, he said he didn't see anything that would indicate a problem.

    So now we have NFI why I'm getting these attacks. I didn't have one last night. Will I have one tonight? Who the heck knows. I've deposited my stool sample and will see what comes from that, and he's also referred me for blood tests, which I'm not sure when I'll get done, depends on the kids and arrangements for someone to look after them. DH can't take too much time off work cos we have a birth coming up!
