Just read this whole thread and wondering myself how it is going.

I had my gallbladder removed a couple of years ago and it was 100% packed with stones. My symptoms were varied, but sure didn't include spitting up blood so that obviously still needs to be addressed.

The symptoms can vary with gallstones, but mine felt like I was having heart attacks. When it got to the point that my chest hurt pretty much every day for about 5 days, I went to the hospital and they admitted me. Thankfully, my GP told them to include an ultrasound of my guts in addition to all of the heart tests.

The ultrasound turned up the packed gallbladder. The doc said that women often present with chest pain like a heart attack which is not the most common side effect. I did have other symptoms like diarrhea, upset stomach and who knows what else in the years preceding that! Gallstones don't form overnight.

So Justice, did you have the ultrasound? Are you getting someone to address your fevers and coughing up of blood?
