    That is very normal. My husband went through the same thing while searching for answers during 10 long and stressful months. He still suffered from it afterwards due to pain from the surgery that took a long time to vanish, but thankfully it is starting to subside and he is getting happier. Hope things improve soon.

    The extreme anxiety I had was when a registrar told me she had never heard of Ursodioxycholic acid which dissolves gall stones of cholesterol type....... She rubbished my questions about that method of dissolving gall stones and was firm in that she said she was an expert in every way and knew all there is to know about gall bladders!

    Her superior knew otherwise and duly prescribed Urso which worked for me because after two years I have not had any symptoms re gall stones. In that top listed surgeons words he said that the dissolution treatment suited me admirably and he also said he would prescribe another course if the symptoms returned.......

    It is unforgivable that she was totally unaware of her lack of expertise.... How many patients were given the wrong advice by her and any similar doctor. Anxiety coupled of course with anger and no retribution whatsoever.
