Morning, I had mine removed a few years back accidentally found I had a stone but also removed the bladder as wasn’t in good shape, something the body can cope with out apparently, have you seen your doctor about this ongoing issue especially with the no appetite, I didn’t feel as sick and pain did go when it came out key hole surgery . Be good to pursue this as having fibro and other health issues on top is pretty rotten as we all know. Let us know how things progress xx

I am so glad I saw your post I collapsed at work on March 2019 been having a lot of pain for a long time severe vomiting huge upper stomach bloating I was admitted to hospital with a gallstone stuck in a bile duct thing was my liver was starting to not function it was severely swollen became badly jaundice and my gallbladder was about to burst spent two weeks in hospital on a drip as had the start of sepsis they removed the gallstone and 8 weeks later I had my gallbladder removed unfortunately I still have liver pain and I have to have a very low fat diet as everything goes through me so I know how you feel call I would advise going to hospital when you have a gallbladder attack also I think this does have a lot to do with my fibromyalgia sending gentle hugs x

Thanks 🙏 that’s really interesting I have just seen a liver specialist because now my liver is not functioning properly and I have Jaundice he said that it was connected in a big way to fibromyalgia and even if he removes the gallbladder etc I will still have liver pain. The liver surgeon said the fibromyalgia was a big factor in my terrible pain

Really wow that’s so interesting that explains my constant liver pain I thought it was all in my head but pain that bad definitely isn’t I really do feel for you it’s dreadful on top of everything else that we have to endure 🥰

There is no evidence that gallbladder or liver issues are directly linked to having Fibromyalgia, but like any co-morbid condition, are potentially worse due to also having fibro
