I have severe fatty liver disease @outlander. I have had a fatty liver for a long time now, and it doesn't cause any problems. But now with the severity increased, I have to be really careful that I don't risk damage to my liver. That's a whole set of other major issues. It requires me to make significant changes to my diet, and soon. I have to almost completely cut out carbs, most forms of sugars, including fruit based sugars as well. And I have to be careful how much saturated fat I have. I already have an appointment with the liver clinic in March. But my liver enzymes are trending back to normal. However, any infections or inflammation can elevate them again.

And its likely, but not yet confirmed, that I have either chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. I've yet to see a specialist about that too. And more blood tests, xrays, ultrasounds. The medical appointments rule my life. As does yours!

thats tough @Sans911 sounds like alot of changes need to be made but you dont have to do it alone. the liver clinic will be able to help you as would a dietician as well. unfortunatly it is a pain. i cant have many carbs either and i also have to have low sugar as well including fruits as my body cant digest it and i had fatty liver as well so if you need a hand im happy to try and help you out with some suggestions

we were talking about CFS or fibromyalgia at whatever time it was this morning and about the suspicions about those. looking like lots of medical appts coming up till you can get some things sorted out hey. we will be with you every step of the way though. you cant get rid of me that easy 😉

Yes, but you shouldn't have the multiple and complex health problems that you have at your young age @outlander. It's not right or fair when you are just starting out in your adult life.

But you must be my lil Sis if you have similar things to me!! We will get through this together hey?

do you think youll sleep tonight? @Sans911

[Sans911]

I'm struggling to stay awake now @outlander but it's still humid tonight. I had a cold shower when I got home from my walk, and splashed my face several times with cold water. I just want to get an important email sent tonight. Have done half last night, so just have to finish it.

sounds like a good plan @Sans911 ill be up for a long while yet as usual. have had about 3 hrs sleep last night. struggling with a cough and chest ache tonight so hopefully it goes away soon.

[Sans911]
