Gall Bladder Issues
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Hey I'm doing some checking around. Has anyone had any gall bladder issues since being diagnosed. I've seen some research that points to advanced HIV and gall bladder issues, but I was wondering if anyone else had those issues.

Had mine out in 2004 when I had bad nausea. They did it out patient through my bellybutton. In at 5am out by 6pm. I was in my 8th year positive.

Yes I had issues with my gall Bladder some years ago, it was brought on by medication that I was on at the time Crixivan, at some point I thought that I was having heart issues, but after going to see a doctor, and have a MRI and CAT scan completed I found out that it was stones in my gall bladder, and it kept on returning with the pain and things, it felt so bad I thought I was having a heart attack a couple of times, after a while I was given the option of having it removed or gong on medications, I decided to get it removed so the pain and infections and swelling would not come back.

Hello Even,
Yes in fact I've had an MRI/CT and waiting results of my Endoscopy to see if that is what the issues, is but attacks from what the Drs. think is my Gall Bladder, but no clear answer as of yet. I have been positive for 34+ years and on meds for about 20+ yrs, so not sure.. stay tuned..
tks,
