Hello everyone. Back in December, I got 2 fibroscans within 2 weeks of each other, and both showed Cirrhosis. Hepatologist ordered an MRI w/wo contrast and MR Elastography. The MRE showed 1.6 KPA, 7% fat in liver and 21cm liver. I was temporarily relieved. I was 342 ibs then. Currently I am 298 ibs. the health anxiety it has given me makes it very hard to get away thinking I still might have Cirrhosis. Now my palms get red and I scheduled another appointment with Hepatologist. My liver function tests have been very good (ALT and AST in the 20s). Has anyone dealt with so much anxiety despite getting good news?

Hello. Reading this reddit group has been very helpful. The past 5 months have been hell for me. I had a fibroscan done December 10th. In December right after the holidays, I got a call to go get an MRI/MR Elastography from my Hepatologists office. I asked why, and the nurse practitioner said the fibroscan showed F4 Fibrosis. I immediately panicked. I scheduled the MRI/MR Elastography. At the time I was 360 ibs. I was asked to also do another fibroscan day before new years. The scan on December 10th read 14 KPA, and the one before new years read 22 KPA. I was in a rut. I asked to see my hepatologist before my MRE, and when I saw him he told me that he doubts that I have Cirrhosis as the fibroscan in heavy individuals can be off, and that 2 different readings is also fairly strange. Jan 12 was the date of the MRE. The next day I got the results. 1.6 KPA, 21cm liver and 7% fat. I was immediately relieved. Since then, I now currently weight 299ibs as of this morning (completely changed my diet) I have been having on and off RUQ abdominal pain, and then got a HIDA scan done showing that I have a low ejection rate of the gallbladder. I am scheduled for surgery, but recently, my palms have been getting fairly red and have been getting stomach pains after taking a mild amount of tylenol. I was wondering if anyone has had symptoms like this despite getting good results from MRE?
