I know... Drs are very often not very good at explaining things... they just give you a little piece of information and leave you with it... and you have make sense of it.... it is very stressful. I hope his apparent lack of concern is good news!

My hepatologist explained that it can take quite a while for the alchohol to leave your system. Could be that's all it is.

is it really , bloody hell amazing aint it , thing is , these things cant heal over night etc

[4pjx__ in reply to Hidden]

No. It can take some time. I was diagnosed with PBC but I was kind of a drinker...a few glasses of wine at night. My illness is auto immune but they are thinking the wine was no help....oddly, my liver enzymes shot way up after 4 month no alchohol! So,weird.
