Re: Biopsy results and blood results

Yes , my liver was " unremarkable " , normal size.

I really don't know what to make of all this, except the pain.

Thankyou ,

WHat is confusing to me is that the first 2 sets of blood tests I had

done in Jaueary did show elevated liver enzymes. The two most recent

sets of tests show normal liver function. I do not know if this is a

result of my liver healing itself, but the ultrasound seems to support

the idea that my liver is doing ok. I appreciate your alternative

suggestions and I will be pursuing the issue with my doctors.

The enlarged spleen is still aconcern to me although neither of my

doctors were much concerned about it, apparently the swelling is very

minor.

I have seen a GP, I have been in the emergency room and I have seen a

gastroenterologist. Is there a separate specialist for liver issues ?

I will be contacting my specialist today to see what the next step is.

I will be overjoyed to find out that I do not have major liver issues,

but I still need to find out what is hurting me.

I am grateful for the wake up call that this has all been. I no longer

drink, I no longer take pain medication and my GERD and gastritis are

identified and under control. I consider myself lucky at this point.

The stories I have read here have pretty much scared me straight, and

I pray for each of you dealing with more severe conditions than it

appears I have.

I am still not convinced that my issue is not my liver. Hopefully

I'll know something certain soon. I don't know why the most advanced

medicine in the world cannot diagnose me more effectively. Maybe I

need my chakras balanced.
