Turns out there going back to the gall badder that's what the nuclear bomb Ex ray test was for,by the way i didn't blow up lol the guy doing it said as long as i didn't sneeze we would be OK.This was a test to see if the gall bladder is even working,they put the nuclear stuff in the to see the liver and gall bladder then they give you some thing else to force the gall badder to go into action.No action then the gall bladder is not working and they take it out,I'm hoping this is the case and be done with it.



If they 'put the nuclear stuff in' then you are probably talking about the use of radioactive isotopes for imaging.

Relax man! They use these imaging techniques on people all the time - the risks are small and well known. 2nd hand smoke and freeway driving may be more worthy of fear than get some of that imaging done.



Thats it you got it and it is safe as long as you dont sneeze lol.

I'm not aware of any danger if you sneeze. They don't want you to sneeze because it messes up the picture.

Sky, sorry man I thought you were serious about it being dangerous. There really are people out there who think that everything 'nuclear' is dangerous, and they get really nervous about these things. A physics professors told me thats why doctors use the label "MRI" instead of "NMRI". The method used in MRIs is 'nuclear magnetic resonance", but decades ago they opted not to take the N our of NMRIs because people were so afraid of the word 'nuclear'.

Radiation can be very helpful at extending your life span and protecting you from disease. Most people don't understand how it works, that's why it scares them. It's kind of like how a mysterious loner like myself both thrills and terrifies women.

If you are exposed to small amounts of radiation over a long time, it raises your risk of cancer. It can also cause mutations in your genes, which you could pass on to any children you have after the exposure. A lot of radiation over a short period, such as from a radiation emergency, can cause burns or radiation sickness. Symptoms of radiation sickness include nausea, weakness, hair loss, skin burns and reduced organ function. If the exposure is large enough, it can cause premature aging or even death.

Radiation hormesis

Interesting side note: Japanese citizens who were outside of the lethal radius of the Atomic bombs, but within the radiation area were significantly less prone to diseases, including cancer and they had a bump in life span.

Sorry to hear about your condition. Getting pain killers will temporarily relieve you from pain but will not resolve the root cause of your problem. If that was gall bladder you need to reconsider options of taking it out. If it was fatty liver you really need to put yourself on a diet, you need to work this out with your family doctor as ER's are good for primary short term care/cure/treatment. I used to have fatty liver but pain was not as intense as you describe it. As doctor explained, this may lead to liver scarring which will give you more difficulty in a long run. I was forced to go on a diet and lose weight which was a good thing. Below is a link that may help you be informed a little with regards to your liver issues.

Radiation also helps improve your blood flow, regulate your circadian rhythm, improve your mood, and helps your body to produce vitamin D.

Like many things, it depends on how much, of what kind, and when.

Even before the modern era radiation was helping humanity control the spread of pathogens.


Sweetestgirl, everything you say is also true. Have you heard about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide?

Oh dude, see, i did try to warn you not to eat cats. Did you listen? Heck noooooooo ;) Well, i once had a colonoscopy, and had dye injected into my colon. X-rays are less likely to cause damage than antibiotics. Antibiotics can sometimes slow down your natural gut function. I kept having to stay off school cos i had a chronic illness, so when it comes to G.I illnesses, i'm kinda an expert, but only cos of experience. Lol. Keep us updated.

Ask drs to do a pancreatic enzyme test....

(to rule out possibility of acute pancreatitis, or

chronic pancreatitis....}

the symtoms are similar to what you are experiencing...


as for fatty liver, the young lady earlier posted excellent info ......

following and maintaining a very healthy diet and

lifestyle change ,will help more than any drug ...no matter

what the diagnosis may be.

@ MorningSong, I believe a lot in healing from other sources, more than medications. As the proof has always been in the way patients have healed. I think you're correct in your views :). I really don't believe in a pill-popping culture.

I Agree, Shy_Emo_chick.flowerforyou


Along with Faith,

God also gave us the herbs of the field and foods that heal...

and a noodle on our shoulders to use....:wink:
