For years (10+) I suffered with severe headaches and migraines. For years I went to the doctors, even a Neurologist.
For years (6+)they told me there was nothing wrong, just "migraines" and gave me the usual meds.
Then, one day, I woke up vomiting. There was NO pain anywhere, just nausea. Vomited for 3 days, I could take no food, no fluids, no rest, no sleep.
Went to the hospital at 1am.. They did an ultra sound my gall-bladder was the size of a large grapefruit. By 5am, it was out. I was out 5 days later and haven't had a headache since. That was 4 years ago.
I asked my docs and the Neuro: Is there a connection between my headaches and my gall-bladder? The answer was a unanimous, "no."
But the anguished memory of that horrible pain in my head that made me wish, beg and pray that I could die and get relief (btw, I never, never experienced pain from my gall-bladder) and the freedom of being totally and completely headache-free tells me, LOUDLY, that there was some sort of connection.
The connection is true for me. As to why I didn't have pain from the years-long dysfunctional gall bladder? I have no idea. The docs tell me "it was all in your head."
Well, I can vouch for the connection but I doubt very seriously that my gall-bladder was hurting *IN* my head. And I remember how my mother writhed in agony when hers used to hurt... So, can anyone tell me why I never experienced the agonizing pain all gall-bladder sufferers describe?
Thank you
