Hi, I havent posted for a while but I do come on here from time to time.
As the title says I'm feeling a bit lost and low with the situation I'm in and don't know what to do as it's really affecting my life, from my marriage to work to general well being.
I'm a 29 year old male and since January last year, which is when I first posted I haven't been feeling very well. This was 2 months after we had our first baby so at the same time my life had a big change in itself.
I've noticed loads of bodily sensations and change but the main symptoms I've experienced are -
RUQ pain front and back, right shoulder pain, itching (which comes on really intense but can stop quckly) eye floaters, loss of appetite, general fatigue. This is worsened by the fact that I haven't been given a cause for these symptoms so my mood is often low because of this.
I've had numerous blood tests, an US, fibroscan, abdominal CT, endoscopy and colongoscopy.
All of these clear apart from mild gastritis. Apart from ALT and GGT my bloods have always been normal. GGT was 116 and ALT 75 at the start. Since stopping alcohol my GGT is normal and ALT around 50.
I've been told there's nothing wrong with my liver and that I'm suffering from health anxiety, so ive respected the doctors advice and am currently 6 sessions into therapy. I know it's early days but I'm really not feeling the therapy and it's made worse by the fact I can't let go of the concern of there being something wrong they've missed! You know your own body the best right!?
I have given up with seeing my doctor as now I'm under the "anxiety" label.
I suppose I'm just after some support and potentially peoples experiences of similar.
Thanks in advance
