My medical stuff:
Possible trigger:
So earlier this year I had a fibroscan of my liver. The results came back that I had stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver and it was enlarged. I went to see a new doctor, and last time I saw him, I asked him directly if I do have cirrhosis. He didn't answer except to tell me about dieting and exercise. About a month ago, I went to the hospital for something else, and they did a CT scan which happened to show the liver. My liver is normal size... So I saw an NP gastro on Monday and she doesn't believe in the validity of fibroscans. She's ordering me a CT scan of my liver with and without contrast. She thinks I just have a fatty liver because my enzymes have also been normal and I have no symptoms of jaundice or liver failure. I'm nervous and hopeful for the CT scan. I kind of need to know what's going on with my liver.
I'm also dealing with really bad insomnia. I can only sleep 2-3 hours at a time a night. I don't know why. If it's due to pain, nightmares, breathing, meds??? Idk!
