Hi, I had my GB out on 8/13 - rocephin sludged it all up. It is irreversible and my LLMD said that actigall has worse side effects than removing the GB. Had the attack in July - at work - GB loaded...
Owwwww....my joints! Was doing so well then bam...the weather gets cold and I'm hurting so badly - hands, knees, hips, even the soles of my feet. Was hoping not to have to ask LLMD for pain...

OMG, I am finally seeing some light! Brief background: When I started IV Rocephin in February, my CD-57 level was 16. I was so sick - months went by with little change CD-57 went to 18 in April. So I...
