gallstones - bad symptoms - in limbo

First time ever posted here. Have had CT and ultrasound scans, blood tests, gastroscopy etc, all they have found is gallstones and I'm now on non-urgent list to return April to consultant. But the investigations were started as I was and am feeling terrible, severely bloated, left/ central/ occ right abdo/ back pain, intermittant low grade fevers, headache, vertigo, nausea, unable to sleep for more than an hour or so or eat other than liquidy things, feel worst I ever have, but as nothing is showing in tests I have been passed from pillar to post and no-one offers anything. Been to A & E, had paramedics out due low blood sugar  symptoms, GP numerous times, but each refers me back to the other and the consultant said if I get an attack to go to A &E. I am fed up with this merry go round and cannot function much longer like this after all these weeks, cannot work and Christmas was awful. The scan results have taken nearly 5 weeks to get back (holidays, Dr strike etc blamed!), although n/a picked up. Have another GP appt coming up. Anyone else been through such an ordeal

and how on earth did you cope?
