…no clue.
All my tests were pretty well near normal, not indicating any reason I should have fled to the ER in the middle of the night last week. And everything has felt fine since then–I was very tired until the weekend, which is about what you’d expect after losing a night’s sleep and taking strong (prescribed!) opiates.
Prescribed, I say! They made me take them!
My doctor ordered up a second round of blood tests to be taken in a month, just for kicks, I guess. If there’s anything to report, I’ll let you all know. If not…it’ll be back to word counts and other excitement, I guess.
My theory, since you asked: having talked to the docs around here where I work (who are, of course, endocrinologists, so uniquely positioned to comment expertly on gastrointestinal matters), I now believe that I had a small gallstone, visible on the first ultrasound, which then passed before the time of the second ultrasound. Gallstones, when they pass, go into the intestine, so I wouldn’t have noticed. Unlike, from what I hear, kidney stones. Apparently something different happens then. 🙂 No, I believe you, I don’t need to see for myself.
