Any idea why my GGT is still 150 nearly 2 years on? Daily yellow diarrhea and sometimes formed (still yellow) awful pain around my ribs especially right side and across my back. Chest pain. So many clear scans and tests.. brain fog getting worse and I'm getting very angry and snappy . Don't feel myself and my memory is gone.. no mental clarity just feels like my head is full of cotton wool! Wierd pressure feeling. Nails have all gone to crap, dry and full of ridges. Urine still clear . Occasional red blood during bowel movement despite clear colonoscopy. I'm so fed up of feeling this poorly. Itching lots more too.. despite clear bloods.. well I say clear.. still raised but gp just says they haven't gone higher.. after 2 years you would think they would find the cause ferritin still elevated at 400 and now my palms look they've been burned.. red and blotchy.. very warm but not itchy. My balance has also gone to pot.. almost fell over twice earlier just standing in a queue at the shop. Vision so much worse and so many eye floaters. I've got gastro referral in place to check for IBD even though I had normal calprotectin and scope. QE hospital appointment in September.. missed my last one as my memory is shocking. Just really paranoid as my great grandad died at the age of 31 from liver cancer (same age as me)

Painkillers no longer touch the pain and I'm really struggling. Gp wont do anything else as they've said all my tests came back clear

Hi Ktan49, its worrying for sure. I have advised you to ask GP for a ELF test. I am sure you will find your answers. If that is clear and no stiffness then your issues might not relate to liver. Please note I am not a doctor just the personal experience tells me. Hope you get well soon.

Hi Ktan,

If you are in the UK why don't you call our nurse led helpline next week and we can have a chat? 0800 652 7330 10am to 3pm

Best wishes.
