Fatty liver?

[Beadygrl]

Hi. I've just had an ultrasound of my liver based on the elevated crp (.7) and hscrp (7.6) my blood work revealed. I'm what they call severely obese and have arthritis in my hip, foot and ankle issues from birth. Hypertension. All of my other values were normal. I'm scared because they also want me to do a cardiac CT scan. I always panic when I go to the doctor and right now I'm panicking waiting to hear about my ultrasound. Any advice for someone who is assuming the worst and doesn't even know what the worse could be?

TIA

I know panic is horrible but think how much worse you'll feel if there is something that could have been treated, and you did nothing about it. Listen to your doctors, they (mostly) know best. And, hey, at least they're being pro-active, there's some on here who's doctors have been a little lazy to say the least!!

Good luck x

Waiting for results is just horrible. I’m exactly the same. I find meditation helps me calm down and Ive learnt to acknowledge those worrying thoughts and then let them go. I also try and distract myself by doing something I have to concentrate on. It’s never as bad as I’ve imagined and I’m sur3 it won’t be for you either. Good luck
