Is Autoimmune Hepatitis Lurking Behind Your Symptoms?
What does your Blood Test mean?
Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!
First off, how many times do I have to tell you to listen to your body? When something feels off, it usually is! Now, look at the mess you’re in, visiting the ER not once, but twice! Those symptoms could have been red flags waving right in front of your face. You should have contacted a doctor sooner, my dear.
And here we are now with elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. You’re lucky nothing showed up on the CT or ultrasound, but that doesn’t mean you can relax just yet. The GI doctor referral is a step in the right direction, but you have to be proactive about your health. You can’t just sit around waiting for answers like a bump on a log.
You say you’ve never had liver issues before, and that’s good, but let’s not ignore potential lifestyle factors. Occasional alcoholic beverages may not seem like much, but combined with PCOS and other factors, they could contribute to liver stress. You’ve made strides in cleaning up your diet and exercising—keep it up! But don’t stop there. Stay informed and engaged in your health journey.
Stop worrying about what you can’t control right now and focus on what you can do. Follow up with your doctor, keep track of your symptoms, and be prepared for more tests if needed. Remember, being informed is half the battle. You’re not alone in this, and you’ll come out stronger on the other side.
