Oh William, you poor thing - I'm so sorry you've had such a sh***y day. I'm keeping everything crossed for some good results from all those horrible tests for you. I can sympathise with your odema, too, which is certainly the cause of your weight gain. Keep your chin up, hun, and take some time to be good to yourself. I hope R is looking after you.....@13lizanne - @mo53 - @ickihun - @debrasue got to Hospital at 10.50am for my Appointment at 11am and was told the Consultant was running 45 minutes late! (had height, weight, blood pressure done by the Nurse) I was finally seen by the Liver Specialist at 11.50am was given a quick examination of my Abdomen and told the results of the Fibroscan I had in February was medium level and cause for some concern. So, I have to undergo an Ultrasound Scan to see just how much scarring of my Liver there is, if the results are not clear enough, then I will have to undergo a Liver Biopsy. Was given 2 Blood request forms and sat and waited another bloody hour to have bloods done for: LFT, Thyroid, Iron Toxicidity, Coeliac Screen, Antinuclear Antibodies, and Hepatitis A - B - C. So, just waiting for the Ultrasound Scan appointment now.
And this is to @ickihun - in 3 days of increasing my evening Insulin I have put on 3lbs (my weight done by the Nurse said I am 13st 3lbs - and I took my Boots off too!) So, Insulin is being decreased as from today. I am even contemplating using up the 28 tablets of Dapagliflozin? Earliest appointment to see my GP is the 20th June, since stopping the Dapagliflozin by evening by feet and ankles are swollen with Odema (need Diuretics). That's it folks.
Big, BIG hugs xxx
