Tertiary syphilis
The final stage, also called "late" syphilis, begins 3 or more years after infection. About 30–40% of infected people progress to this stage. At this stage, the person may no longer be contagious, but the bacteria reactivate, multiply, and spread throughout the body, damaging the heart, eyes, brain, nervous system, bones, and joints. Tumors may develop on skin, bone, testes, and other tissues; cardiovascular symptoms such as aortic aneurysm and aortic valve insufficiency may develop; degenerative central nervous system disease can produce dementia, tremors, ataxia (loss of muscle coordination), paralysis, and blindness. Damage is irreversible.

I take it this comes from your personal experience? At what stage are you? Does it ever involve the gall bladder?
