AIBU?

To give myself a gallbladder attack, on purpose.

Long story short: had a lot of problems with my gallbladder in 2015, hospitalisation, MRI, and was scheduled to have the damn thing out but had a surprise pregnancy.

Ds is 10 months now and for the last six week I have been in a lot of pain. Not acute attack pain but still painful enough to be bothering me.

I've cut out all dairy, eggs, nuts, meat etc. and it's still feeling irritated, in fact I would say it feels worse.

Gp wants me to wait to have another ultrasound but warned that I could be waiting quite some time.

She seemed to be dropping hints that if I went in to a&e I might get seen sooner but didn't come right out and say it.

I'm sick of it. I can't sleep properly and it's getting worse.

I'm really close to just wolfing a ton of saturated fat, waiting for the inevitable and going in.

Wibu?

Sounds awful op. Sorry no advice on gall stones but are you aware of this page on bf and medication? She can answer individual queries too. Might help you get some decent pain relief anyway www.breastfeeding-and-medication.co.uk. Re the a+e thing. I did find going helpful when I had renal colic but only because my kidney consultant had decided nothing wrong with my kidneys and it was period pain/constipation despite my history and symptoms not matching either Hmm. It meant I saw another specialist who did the correct test and diagnosed me. In hindsight I'm not sure the consultant realised how much pain I was in (although he could have listen to me and gp!). In your case as you have a diagnosis calling the hospital sounds like best bet.
