Well I’m going through the wringer at the moment. Colonoscopy and endoscopy scheduled this week at now elastography as well! It was initially a few weeks out but they had an opening. I’m really nervous about it and not sure I’m ready to know…how fast are results usually? I believe they give you a score on the spot?

Also have the nerves of the colonoscopy and endoscopy. I keep seeing the low hemoglobin and RBC as a big issue with cirrhosis which I’m low on both and struggled years with it.

Guess it’s show time and see how bad I am. Just not sure mentally how I’ll get thru. Good thing is with the prep for the procedure I’m not drinking anything for these days.

Wondering if anyone had a fatty liver diagnosis despite normal labs (ALT/AST bilirubin, creatine etc) only found through Ultrasound only to later confirm through fibroscan that it’s actually cirrhosis or at least much worse.

I feel I’m being brushed off even with confirmation of fatty liver but normal labs. Doctor doesn’t feel it’s too bad. But I also know labs can’t paint the whole picture.

Just told to cut alcohol and exercise…I do not want to get complacent when I could be in bad shape.

I also have a ton of GI issues leading to some odd CBP results I’m working through.

Been struggling with alcohol and didn’t expect the best news. And confirmed today. Not sure how bad it is just yet especially with a CT pending but I know for sure liver isn’t 100% and fatty liver confirmed (best case scenario imo)

Wake up call but don’t know what this all means.
