Fatty Liver Disease Support Group

Hi there. I also had elevated levels for a few years and the Dr's just ignored it. I repeatedly went to the Dr, as I was awfully tired, swollen, sores on skin, dingy. Come to find out my ammonia levels were very high and the toxins were poisoning my system. The Dr's I saw did not do anything about it. I found a Dr. that worked with the liver and I have been of various meds which helped the swelling to go down, the sores to go away and I can think alot clearer. Not perfect, but better. Hope you have a Dr who is proactive and looks for these things. Otherwise it seems like a lonely world out there. My thoughts are with you!! Suzes

I have added some good sites to the discussion, Medicine.net explained alot to me. I know my gastro said i had a somewhat fatty liver just lose a lb a week, Then few weeks ago I took tylenol and KAPOW I got hot then inflammation all throughout my liver, Called her office and the nurse said it will go away stay away from tylenol. I made an appt and the nurse said you were just here in Nov, I said that was for a colonscopy not my liver. I wanted to say, if you didnt have patients you would have no paycheck. So discouraging, I should have said I will just find another dr, but that dr has no idea what that nurse is saying to people, But still couldnt get in for a few weeks, So tried milk thistle and trying to eat no fats, like before, I just wish when I gained this weight years ago and got acid reflux all those drs I saw would have said, being overweight can cause cirrhosis, I think they should warn us. but acorrding to mayo clinic and other sites its the new silent killer and they probably dont know what to do either. Just kicking myself I didnt lose weight slowly earlier. I made a list of my symptoms to take to the dr, they are so easy to forget it all. I get hot then itchy feeling all over at times. my entire right side and under my breast is inflamed no matter what. I cant sleep. Liver feels tender and swollen. Bruises I dont know how they got there. Muscle cramps on top of feet that ASOS said could be from cirrhois. my blood pressure is higher then use to be. I dont know I put alot in the discussion group but no one responds back. Whats new lol

Hi everyone! I am so glad that i found this site! I was getting to feel like i am crazy i too have pain in my liver and i am covered in bruises, the docs dont know much about it here in reno, or they certainly dont act like it, glad im not alone, but sad that we all have to deal with this. My heart goes out to you all....
