Oh Kazzy, dont worry, I guess this wouldnt be a good time to mention kidney stones, then? God knows where they come from.... Anyway, gallstones are not nice, I suffered for years, had loads of appointments to get them out but never attended... in the end I just had to, they are very easily sorted, well in my case anyway. So, get the BP thing sorted. As far as I know, gallstones affect people with high cholesteral or associated diets. Women who have had multiple pregnancies and mainly females. Many people have the blighters with no symptoms but when they get you, you know you've been got. No sense in worrying about something that hasnt got you yet. No sense either in leaving this world with a perfect size 10 body with no energy, shiver all the time, never touch chocolate or like a scarecrow that cant smile. Much better to taste life, (especially chocolate), have fun, embrace others and stay warm. its the spirit that counts, not the vehicle. Slide into the coffin, having had a good time.
