So I’ve been having liver pains for a over a year. My Doc never sent me to hepatologist because my bloods have always been great. I know bloods can be great yet things can still be amiss. My hands are red and blotchy, I get cold easy, liver area is very tender, dry eyes as well as very dry mouth,appetite askew I’ve also woken up with bloodshot eyes that seem very dry burning. I’ve had a fibroscan, ct scan, and ultrasound no findings according to them. I feel I have it could possibly be PBC. I haven’t drank in a year with exception of only 2 nights I fell of the bandwagon. I used to drink heavily for 10 years or so I don’t even know why I just liked it. Rarely broke up days between drinking....anyone else like that? Anyways would those tests have shown PBC? I’m going to liver specialist December 6. Trying to hold it together until then idk if I can do this.... anyone knowledgeable in testing for that? My side feels like it’s on fire (inflammed) and some nights I don’t want to sleep on it. Thanks for any input.

Hi, Relax as you have said goodbye to alcohol. One thing is sure that due to excessive drink your liver is damaged. But the good news is liver is the only regenerative part of the body and you can live the normal life through the liver is damaged 80%. As you have quite drink your liver is recovering and in healing time there is more inflammation. So good luck with your tests. The doctor might ask you for Liver Function Test (LFT) and Fibroscan. Let's hope good score of fibroscan. Meanwhile, focus on good diet. Include vegetables, garlic, ginger, green tea, coconut water, Tamarind, apple and healthy food. Focus on exercise. Most important don't think too much Take care..!!
