Hello. New to site. I have hundreds of questions, but for now I am scheduled for surgery Feb 1st to have my gallbladder removed because they said it’s not working properly. Question is,is gallbladder G.I. stuff part of lupus?I am supposed to be off all medication for a week prior to my surgery I am in extreme pain everywhere and I am not able to sleep at all,my anxiety has kicked up full notch what do you guys do to calm your flareups down?
Thank you both. HenryI appreciate your message. I didn’t think gallbladder had anything to do with the lupus, but the doctor says that the GI system not working is part of my lupus, I’m so glad I found this site so that I can get more answers to help me. He said no gallstones but that it’s not working properly. Everything is so confusing right now. They did say I have fibromyalgia as well so I will definitely try the tens unit today. Thank you.❤️😁

Hi Henry I suspected as much about rhe adhesions surrounding my gallbladder.

Hi Henry, I also find hot showers very helpful. Haven't tried a TENS unit yet. Do you have a brand recommendation? I also use loratidine for what I thought was an ant-histamine. I am not familiar with the term humoral immune system flairs. I am going to do a little research to learn more about that. I find the gallbladder issue very interesting. I had my gallbladder removed awhile back. The surgeon had to remove adhesions while in there because they attached my gallbladder to my intestines. This was prior to my Lupus diagnosis, however I often wonder if the adhesions were Lupus related. Thanks for your insights here.
