I was recently diagnosed with a midly enlarged and fatty liver and because I was generally feeling unwell with a right sided pain my Dr sent me to a gastriologist.
The Gastriologist is concerned because I have lost 2st in weight in the last 4 weeks, despite only a slight decrease in appetite and I have developed a tremor. She has ordered numerous blood tests ie full thyroid function, liver function, diabetes, full blood count etc.... and endoscopy and a ct scan of abdomen.
I am still awaiting blood test results as it was only a week ago and I am scheduled for the endoscopy and ct scan later in the month.
Now I know that I shouldn't, but I googled and put in "weight loss and tremor" and guess what it came up with (amongst other things) "LIVER FAILURE"!!!!!!!!!! and as if that wasn't enough - upon reading I have ALL the symptoms :-(
Now I am really worried!!!
I do have Graves disease in my family - my mum had it and my brother has it also - so could it just be this????
I get hot flushes, need a poo as soon as i open my eyes :blush: , tremor really bad, weight loss, tiredness, gas, weakness really bad, right sided pain round to my back and just a general feeling of unwell.
My pulse if fine which is making me rule out thyroid issues and my thyroid was also checked six months ago and was fine.
I hate worrying that I am going to die, but I know that something is not right :weep: and I don't go back to see the Gastriologist until mid-april for any of my results - I will worry myself sick until then x
Sorry it's long
