Sorry, you accidentally replied to yourself instead of me, so I only just saw this. I'm really glad to hear she's back to normal. That must have been really hard. My wife and I both have mental health issues, as does our daughter, so our whole family is a real mess. Medications are helping us too. Also, I forgot to say this to you before- my dad developed an allergy to antibiotics when he was a senior and he had to take really exotic ones with a bunch of Benadryl and an epipen on standby if he ever had an infection, so I totally sympathize there as well.
Now. Some good news- one of my symptoms before the gallbladder was removed seems to be gone, and it was removed as a last resort before I went to the Mayo clinic, so this may have worked! Still no appetite, but before the surgery, I would dry heave almost every morning and had done so for close to a year. I haven't done it once since the surgery. I have not gone four days without doing that since probably January.
Ahhh, oops!
That's good that there's some promising improvements. Hopefully you keep improving!
My wife would also dry heave constantly, and it would go into overdrive when she tried to eat something. At first she could only eat bananas, but then she ate too many and now she still dry heaves when eating bananas, even though she's fully better. I think it's a mental thing for her for bananas. I think she associates bananas with that feeling.
Well at least she's mostly better! I'd probably dry heave eating bananas too, but then I hate bananas. Anyway, glad to hear she's doing better and I'm glad I'm starting to do better. Hope you had a good holiday!
