Liver Disease fear

[Blackstar]

Hi everyone,

The question 'does it never bl**dy well end?' is in my head at the moment. Having got over the last round of acute HA, now I'm having a panic about liver disease. Specifically autoimmune liver disease - having had autoimmune thyroid disease I know I'm more at risk of developing other autoimmune diseases.

Anyway the last couple of days I've felt really itchy, specially round my mouth. I know that itching is a sign of liver disease, and then I started thinking about the tiredness I had a couple of weeks ago, and...well...now I'm convinced I have liver disease

I wish there were home blood test kits you could get, then I could test myself without bugging the GP. But then again, I guess that would be bad for an HA sufferer.

Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you...

Anna. x
