Going from active to bed in days?? Seversl worries....

Hello

Saw GP yesterday, h pylori test, blood tests. Told him everything. He thought pain in back more gastric related. I am not so sure. I have had it very intermittently over the years, but this time constantly for 4 or 5 days. Relieved by lying down lessens if I get up and move, but sitting, it is worse and intense.

Anyway, what worries me is how I have gone from being up and about, active with plans that include a new caravan being delivered this weekend, to literally being in bed, sleeping, with zero energy. Even if I try to read something, my eyes just close and I am asleep again. Not eating....a porridge pot forced down daily but drinking lots of water......but NO hunger pains.....I am usually always hungry and have a very good appetite.

How can I go from one extreme to another in days. If the liver does show damage, which I doubt will be fatty, will I ever recover enough to find energy again, find an appetite? I think we should cancel having the caravan transported to the site, my hubby says I am being dramatic. But if I wont ever have the energy to drive a couple of hours, and to enjoy it, all the walks, I think that money could be better used should I need prolonged health care.

Overnight I have had a very poor, restless night, generally with pain in tummy as opposed to my liver area. But I am still in bed, just cant drag myself out of bed, will just go from bed to chair. Having some very bizarre dreams too.

Wishing you all a good day x

Hello,

I am sorry you are feeeling so down about everything at the moment. Hopefully you will get your test results back soon. Something has obviously changed to make you feel like you are feeling at the moment - maybe it is not be liver related, perhaps you have an infection....? If you still feel awful/getting worse then you should make your GP aware.

Don't cancel the caravan !

kind regards

Well, sadly I have cancelled the caravan. My anxiety got the worse of me. I have ignored....not the right word...so many warning signs, previous liver scans. Felt better - would feel so good it was almost like I never had had concerns about my liver before....and I am going back years......and then the occasional wine becomes two, becomes three despite periods of abstinence it becomes a viscious circle.

I cannot get past that having done so and now arrived at this stage with so many new concerns, symptoms that I am now into either fibrosis or cirrhosis territory. I just didn't want to have it sited and not be able to use it, and because it is remote there is no health care. Most of time just me and the dog.

I may have made the worst decision, it took me ages to find this lovely site. But it just felt that my expectations are a step too far. If I am fine, God willing, then I can think again for the future. But til then, I still am eating very little, sleeping , total lack of energy, dry mouth, very severe pains in right upper back and around right ribs, a linear bruising to my belly in front of liver.
