While you are waiting for it to come out, eat small meals that are very low fat. That will help prevent or minimize attacks.
OkamiKodomo so glad you are okay! How scary!
I've been doing the tiny meal thing. Meh. I like grease and fat. waaahhhh
So, my exam was a waste of time. The doc barely asked any questions and didn't even order lab work aside from an ultrasound. The ultrasound didn't show any gallstones so the doctor says we'll have to look at other things. Just like that. No labwork, no nothing, no follow up visits. She was basically like, "If it happens again come back." I got pissed and asked how we were supposed to do that without even so much as bloodwork to check things. Suffice to say I am not impressed with this doctor. She wasn't thorough at all. And she kept telling me how pleasant I was, and how healthy I seemed, and how I didn't look 38 and she just assumed I was in my early 20s and all that. Thanks for making assumptions, medical professional. What ElSE in my chart did you not bother to read? And anyway, what does that have to do with anything? Just because I'm a wrinkle-free, cheery person doesn't mean I am not to be taken seriously. Am I supposed to whine and bellyache like a little bitch just to get something done right? I think not. So anyway. After that little phone call I drove back to the office and pretty much demanded labwork so they're going to run blood tests and a urinalysis. I'm glad my brother in law is a doctor, he basically had to tell me what to do and ask for since these jokers weren't doing their effin' jobs. Gah.
