Hi
I am posting this as I am now convinced I have cirrhosis of the liver.
I have noticed tiny purple veins on my legs, and a couple on my chest.
I showed the one's on my chest to the hospital and they weren't concerned.
I recently had a liver panel done which came back normal, and I had my stomach felt for swelling etc which was normal.
My main concern is I drunk half a bottle of vodka (large bottle) through the course of an evening a couple of weeks ago, and since then have had a petechaie rash (which I've been to hospital about 2 times).
I've read that this can be caused by liver damage, along with the veins.
I'm only 22, and haven't had any prolonged period of heavy drinking, I don't generally drink that much. But I've heard you can get it through auto-immune disease and general reasons.
I know I mentioned this in my other thread, but the veins and spots are really worrying me, and I'm convinced i'm dying of Cirrhosis.
I'd really like to speak to some people about this. Scared.
